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…

Given the domination of the radio airwaves by Rogers, Corus and Bell, it's refreshing to learn that community radio is making a come back.  We've been interviewed and supported by many local stations over the years.  Their commitment to Canadian culture is unquestioned. 

They were particularly supportive of our 2018 Picton show.  

Here are two radio programs that we hosted.  

The first was CIUT-FM on June 12.  My guests were Brian and Larry Good from The Good Brothers.  The stories were crazy and…

The accolades started arriving almost immediately.  The fans of Whiskey Jack and The Good Brothers let us know that they liked this collaboration very much.  It was an idea that our promoter Shaun Pilot made happen and it turned out as he planned.  The Regent Theatre in Picton was the venue and the date was Friday, June 15, 2018.  

We began the evening with an hour of Stories & Songs of Stompin' Tom....SPONTANEOUS STANDING OVATION!  We were thrilled to be sharing the stage with these Canadian legends so…

Fans of good old fashion Canadian country music don't often get a chance to hear the songs they love in one show, performed by those "who were actually there"! That is about to change. The Good Brothers, Bruce, Brian and Larry have invited Whiskey Jack to bring our show, Stories & Songs of Stompin' Tom Connors to their stage, Friday, June 15, 2018 at the Regent Theatre in Picton Ontario.

“Whiskey Jack Presents Stories and Songs of Stompin' Tom” was born shortly after Stompin' Tom died in 2014. However, Whiskey Jack started collecting the songs and stories that eventually became part of this show in 1990 when Duncan Fremlin, Whiskey Jack's leader, toured with Tom for the first time. There were many adventures along the way. 

The show is 100% Canadian - not only a portrait of their years on stage with Stompin' Tom, but also anecdotes and songs from their years as cast members on the CBC's…

It was a fantastic and fairly typical winter afternoon to celebrate Canada and her greatest singers and songwriters.  Fantastic because the musicians were in fine form and the songs that they sang were heartfelt and soothing to the northern soul...and typical because it was storming outside.  The large and enthusiastic audience was not discouraged by the icy roads (although many out-of-towners didn't make it).  

One fan, a trucker from Sudbury wrote to say he "had a terrific time yesterday - bought the…

As I was walking along the Red Carpet at the Walk of Fame gala, not something that was on my bucket list, I was interviewed 8 times by various media outlets.  This is the only one I've seen online.  

SOCAN were filming some conversations for their TV channel.  This was one of them.
