Lot's of time to reminisce

Our annual Stompin' Tom Birthday Celebrations have offered a lot of highlights since we began in 2014 but the one that stands out in my mind was the second in 2015.  After our chaotic but highly successful first concert in February 2014, we didn't know what the next one would look like.  I knew it had to be big!

I called the Rt. Hon. Adrienne Clarkson and asked if she'd be our guest.  She immediately said "yes, I loved Tom".

I called Sam Grosso at the Cadillac Lounge and asked if we could host it there.  He immediately said "yes, I loved Tom".

What followed was a storybook tale involving front page coverage in the Toronto Star, a live interview/performance on Gill Deacon's CBC afternoon show, Here and Now, a film crew recording the first set and an absolutely jam packed crowd....fans were sitting and standing everywhere. 

We began the night with this song and each Whiskey Jack band member stood up and described what their Canada looks like. 

Guests that night were Douglas John Cameron, Mickey Andrews, Mary McIntyre, Steve Fruitman, Tom Jr., Lena Connors and of course, The Big A, Adrienne Clarkson.

Whiskey Jack Presents Stories & Songs of Stompin' Tom

Whiskey Jack Presents Stories & Songs of Stompin' Tom

Sunday, April 7, 2024 @ 2:00PMSun, Apr 7, 2024 @ 2:00PM

Fergus Grand Theatre, 244 St. Andrew St. W., Fergus, On

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.

Brockville Arts Centre, Brockville, On

For 4 decades, Whiskey Jack has been performing their unique brand of Canadian country music coast to coast. In the 1980's, they were featured weekly on CBC TV's Tommy Hunter Show. Watching the Whiskey Jack segment (The Ol' Back Porch) every Friday night, a retired Stompin' Tom Connors would become an avid Whiskey Jack fan, enjoying the humour and the amazing musicianship, along with 2 million of his fellow Canadians. When Stompin' Tom resumed his career after 13 years away, he called Whiskey Jack and invited them to join him in the studio to record his acclaimed album, "Dr. Stompin' Tom... Eh?". These two Canadian musical institutions would continue to perform and record often together until Tom's death in 2014. Those years with Stompin' Tom were the seeds that blossomed into the show they tour with today, Stories & Songs of Stompin' Tom.
