Tom Wilson in Concert with Jesse O’Brien and Thompson Wilson

June 2, 2023 @ 8:00 pm - 9:00 pm

As part of Gathering: Festival of First Nations Stories, enjoy Tom Wilson in Concert with Jesse O’Brien, Thompson Wilson and a special message from local elder and storyteller Jeff Monague.
Tom Wilson was raised in the rough-and-tumble world of Hamilton – Steeltown, in the company of World War II vets, factory workers, fall -guy wrestlers and the deeply guarded secrets kept by his parents, Bunny and George. For decades Tom carved out a life for himself in the shadows. He built an international music career and became a father, he battled demons and addiction, and he waited, hoping for the lies to cease and the truth to emerge. It would. And when it did, it would sweep up the St. Lawrence River to the Mohawk reserves of Quebec, on to the heights of the Manhattan skyline. He is the author of the bestselling book Beautiful Scars: Steeltown Secrets, Mohawk Skywalkers and the Road Home.
