STORIES & SONGS OF STOMPIN' TOM
THURSDAY, MAY 16, 2024 7:30PM
Presented by: Mansfield Entertainment
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. Since day one, 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.
Whiskey Jack in 2024 continues to write, record and tour across the country.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Today, Duncan is joined by two-time Juno nominee, Douglas John Cameron and Stompin' Tom's favourite fiddler, from PEI, Billy MacInnis. Douglas John is recognized across Canada for his 1985 hit, Mona With The Children (True North Records). That was soon followed by his weekly appearances on Ants in Your Pants (Treehouse TV). His theatrical and dynamic approach to performing, coupled with his talents on many instruments, bring an endless supply of energy to this already dynamic band.
