The Brockville Arts Centre & Whiskey Jack Present:
STORIES AND SONGS OF STOMPIN' TOM
Since Whiskey Jack's inception 45+ years ago, their fans have been showering them with accolades​, celebrating their songs and stories. But the one constant that has fueled their success is what brings the crowds to their feet each night - a polished show exuding charm, ease and playfulness, qualities welcomed in this post Covid world. Since day 1, band leader Duncan Fremlin has been welcoming elite members of the Canadian music community to the Whiskey Jack family.
Success took off in the 1980's when the band was invited to host their own "Ol' Back Porch" segment on CBC TV's Tommy Hunter Show. Then, when Stompin' Tom resumed his career, he called Duncan and invited Whiskey Jack 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 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.
Today, Duncan is joined by two-time Juno nominee, Douglas John Cameron, acclaimed bass player James McEleney, and Stompin' Tom's favourite fiddler, from PEI, Billy MacInnis. These seasoned veterans carry the Whiskey Jack tradition into a post COVID world.
