Documented collaborators

Gales of November is a compelling Minnesota-based performer project that blends folk-jazz storytelling with archival history. Informed by Prudence Johnson’s long-running career—from the 1984 release Little Dreamer to the 2006 album Peru—this production brings the 1975 Edmund Fitzgerald tragedy to life through song, narration, and an intimate ensemble. The touring show features Johnson alongside notable collaborators including Claudia Schmidt and Ruth McKenzie, offering a richly textured musical experience that honors resilience and sea-worn memory. As part of the 50th-anniversary commemorations of the Fitzgerald wreck, Gales of November is touring Minnesota in late 2025 with performances in Duluth and Worthington. Secure your seats with us and enjoy a thoughtful, audience-friendly show that pairs storytelling with live folk-jazz sensibilities.
