Since we began this odyssey 5+ years ago, I've met hundreds of fans and friends who have reached out to us in support our efforts, all with a genuine appreciation for our music.  Publishing the book has opened the door to an entirely new community of fans.  

A few weeks ago, I met and interviewed the legendary broadcaster, Brian McFarlane from Hockey Night In Canada Fame.  We've become great pals, always lots to talk about.  I'll publish my last interview with him at a later date.  It's all about  old…

On behalf of the entire Whiskey Jack team here at our head office in Toronto, we'd like to thank you for another exciting year full of amazing memories, music and exceptional audiences! We'd also like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a very happy and healthy 2019. We're grateful for many things....headlining the Canada Day festivities at the Stompin' Tom Centre in Skinners Pond PEI being at the top of the list. This included a long drive through the beautiful Canadian landscape, much like we did with…

Perils of booking shows in 2018.

Recently there have been a couple of Facebook posts about the diminishing royalties distributed by SOCAN (and similar organizations) to songwriters. These critiques were written by singer/songwriters Danny Michel and Murray Foster and have since gone viral. Murray’s post triggered an invitation from the CBC's Metro Morning (Matt Galloway) for an on-air interview. In short, most of the revenue we dole out each month to Spotify and Apple goes into the bank accounts of the…

The demand for Duncan's new book, My Good Times With Stompin' Tom is through the roof!  A second edition will be ordered before the end of the year. 

The fans at our live show have been buying many copies of the book, which Duncan happily signs, but the online sales have also been fantastic.  We've sent copies to every province and territory.  

It's also available at the following locations:

Toronto Public Library

12th Fret Music Store - 2132 Danforth Ave - Toronto, On.

Bearly Used Books - 15 James St…

Dissing a fellow citizen who has achieved a degree of success and notoriety is a popular Canadian pastime. I have been guilty of doing this myself, Neil Young being my favourite target. What great fun!  

But there is one target who over the years has taken more than her fair share of abuse and, from what I know, having worked closely with our former Governor General, the Right Honourable Adrienne Clarkson on a project, this is not warranted one little bit. I’m referring of course to the recent headlines…

In 1969, a year many Canadians discovered marijuana for the first time, Stompin' Tom Connors wrote and published a song that has become an anthem for the country. One of many anthems penned by Tom actually. The success of this song was immediate and he was well on his way to becoming one of the most revered Canadians ever. We respectfully honour Stompin' Tom Connors' original version by releasing today, October 17, 2018, our salute to the legalization of this well loved and heavily used substance. We call…

In an era of fake everything (at least that what it seems sometimes), I'm happy to report that there's nothing phony about our show, Whiskey Jack Presents Stories & Songs of Stompin' Tom. We sing and play the songs that we learned from the man himself, either while on tour with him in front of thousands of fans, or in his furnace room with just him and his guitar.  

The applause we hear each night is Tom's applause. The first time he heard our version of Algoma 69, he smiled and nodded his approval. That's…
