There are two moments in our shows when the crowd loses control of their senses.  We live for these moments.  It happens at every show!

The first is when our official Whiskey Jack dancer, Douglas John Cameron begins to floss…

On January 31 of this year, we hosted our 6th Annual Stompin' Tom Birthday Celebration at Zoomer Hall in Toronto. In the audience that night was broadcaster (City-TV) and media pioneer, Moses Znaimer. He's also the founder of Idea City…

When I'm interviewed by the media about my show, I often wonder out loud what Tom's legacy will look like in the decades to come, long after I've joined him in the afterlife.  Now that our Northern Ontario tour is…

RHYMES AND GOOD TIMES

OVERVIEW:  

This new CD, Rhymes and Good Times, has been in the works since this show began almost 6 years ago.  Says co-producer Duncan Fremlin, “each time I performed these songs with Tom over…

Our birthday celebration at Zoomer Hall on January 31, 2019 was special for a lot of reasons.  The show and the special guests were outstanding.  Everyone performed brilliantly.

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…

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.

​Special Notice to all fans of Canadian Country Music: 

As in years past, the special guest list for this birthday party is never finalized until shortly before the show. If you've attended before, you know what we're talking about.…
