These shows are so much fun for everyone. The audience is on vacation with the family so they're ready for a relaxing and dynamic hour of songs and silliness. Whiskey Jack is just happy to be singing and playing for them.

Whiskey Jack returns to this "city" park for the 10th time. We welcome many old friends who come to the show every year. We will of course sing our hit song about Georgian Bay, "Where the Whitefish Flash Silver". https://youtu.be/aBlyQziPfCU
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.
