Sumach Roots by Jason Wilson

Sumach Roots takes audiences on a bold and innovative exploration of Upper Canada's evolution over the past four centuries. The brainchild of two-time JUNO nominee and bestselling historian Jason Wilson, Sumach Roots draws from a deep well of sounds—from traditional British folk to bebop jazz and classic reggae—in order to tell the stories of those who built Upper Canada, both literally and culturally. Wilson delves into, among other stories, the late eighteenth century diaries of Elizabeth Simcoe, the great fires of 1902 and 1904, and the building of the CN Tower.
