We're very pleased to announce that Whiskey Jack has just signed our 5th licensing agreement with the two organizations that run Tom's affairs, Stompin' Tom Ltd. and their record label, Ole Majorly Indie.   The photo below includes, from left to right, Robert Ott, CEO of Ole, Duncan Fremlin, Manager of Whiskey Jack and Andy Curran, Senior Consultant, Ole. We're all very excited to continue spreading the spirit of the Canadian mosaic associated with Canada's favourite troubadour, Stompin' Tom Connors.

“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 Sunday approaches, we're very excited and ready to one again salute this great Canadian on what would have been his 82nd birthday.

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.    

Last Wednesday was a monster day in the life of our show.  We were invited to perform the Hockey Song as part of Stompin' Tom's induction into Canada's Walk of Fame ceremony at the Liberty Grand Ballroom in Toronto.  It was a thrill of a lifetime for all of us.

Don Cherry and Ron McLean introduced the segment via video and as we all expected, it was all about "hockey".  We then sang a rousing version of The Hockey Song accompanied by an unbelievably good house band.   We invited "Prime Minister Mulroney…

The gift that keeps on giving...our July 2 show in Huntsville was one of the many highlights of our summer.  Yesterday, Rob Saunders, the General Manager of the Huntsville Festival of the Arts sent these kind words... 

"In addition to being a pleasure to present Whiskey Jack, they are the real deal onstage. Their show honours the music and legend of Stompin' Tom but this is by no means a tribute act. What they are, is a group of seasoned pros, excellent musicians all, who play music they love and respect.…

John Farrington, author, reporter and good friend of Stompin' Tom Connor's, died in his sleep on August 29, 2017.  He was 74.  At the time of his death, he was anxiously awaiting publication of his most recent project, a coffee table book called "Stompin' Tom's Canada".   

A few years ago, I saw a photograph of #stompintommusic, hatless and before he became "Stompin'",  greeting former Prime Minister, Lester B. Pearson during a campaign stop in Timmins in 1963.  That photo appeared in the local Timmins…

As our summer tour winds down (last show of 2017 at Port Dover on November 4), we can't help but think back on the fantastic fans we've met.  Their kind words and robust applause feeds us every night.   

This morning, I awoke to a Facebook message from a musician who learned his chops in post war England with the Beatles and others.  I don't know much about his other than he lives in the Parry Sound area and attended our show last week.   His name is Eddie Chippendale.

"Hello Whiskey Jack, just to let you…
