Town Hall Heritage Theatre , 274 Josephine St,, Wingham, Ontario N0G 2W0
John Miller, artistic director of Huron Waves Music Festival has invited Duncan and Whiskey Jack to debut their new touring show, Legends of Canadian Country Music. The date is June 12, 2022 and the location is home of another legend, the CKNX Barn Dance, Wingham Ontario. Joining Whiskey Jack for this extravaganza will be Brian Good from The Good Brothers and Canadian Hall of Fame recipient, Marie Bottrell. The musical history on the stage for this show turns it into an afternoon of "Legends honouring Legends". Given Whiskey Jack's years with the CBC on The Tommy Hunter Show and as Stompin' Tom's touring band, these hardened road warriors are well suited to represent the generation that was inspired by ....Gordon Lightfoot, Ian Tyson, Gordie Tapp, Wilf Carter, Don Messer, The Good Brothers, Prairie Oyster and more. All multiple award winners in their field, seasoned veterans Brian Good, his wife Susie and Marie Bottrell bring their own stories and songs to the stage.
