Shanty Boys of Pine County: Stories, Songs and Legends of Northwoods Lumbermen
by Jeremiah Gamble
A rollicking, heart-warming musical telling the story of northwoods lumbermen though traditional Irish and Minnesota lumber camp songs–featuring two storytellers, two musicians, a stack of songs, a heap of stories, a generous helping of beans, and a pile of timber that creatively transforms as the adventure unfolds.
Written and conceived by Jeremiah Gamble, directed by Jeff Miller and featuring Nathan Cousins and Jeremiah Gamble as the storytellers, and musicians Jeff Zupfer, and Eric Thurstin, on a bevy of traditional instruments.
