Whiskey Jack is a Toronto based band that has been performing country, roots and bluegrass music across North America since 1977. They are now touring with their new show, Whiskey Jack Presents Stories & Songs of Stompin' Tom. To watch some of the show, click on the Video Tab.
Entertainment is what we are all about! We salute those who support live music.
Whiskey Jack Presents Stories & Songs of Stompin' Tom returns to the Fergus Grand Theatre on April 7, 2023 to begin their "10th anniversary tour". Fans had to be turned away at the door the night of their first appearance, almost 6 years ago to the day! This show, recently described as a cross between Red Green and Vinyl Cafe, is so Canadian it hurts. The band's musical ride with Tom began in 1990 and included national tours, albums, TV appearances and many all night sessions filled with chess, songs and beer. You'll hear all about it at this show.
We are thrilled to be returning to a city that welcomed us many many times durng our early touring years. The Frontenac, Grad Club, Rodeo Roadhouse and a few other locations I can't recall. $35 is the price and 7:30 PM is the start.
