FLATO ACADEMY THEATRE PRESENTS
WHISKEY JACK PRESENTS
STORIES & SONGS OF STOMPIN’ TOM WITH SEAN CULLEN
Duncan Fremlin will host each show, starring Tom’s band Whiskey Jack, Juno nominated Douglas John Cameron and Stompin’ Tom’s long time fiddler from PEI, Billy MacInnis. Very special guest for all shows will be Sean Cullen. More guests will be announced at a later date.
Stories & Songs of Stompin’ Tom begin their 13th year in 2026 singing songs of defiance and hope, some by Tom and some by other Canadian songwriters. Since 1990 when Whiskey Jack and Tom first began to work together, his message to Canada has been simple:
“Keep ‘er Canadian b’y, we need ya!”
The idea for the show was conceived during their Covid-interrupted tour in 2020, “Stompin’ Tom’s Canada Meets Seán Cullen’s Comedy”. One fan wrote “That was the most Canadian show I've ever seen. I wish it didn't have to end.”.
Whiskey Jack’s 25 year professional and personal relationship with Stompin’ Tom form the heart and soul of this show. You will hear “Bud the Spud,” “Sudbury Saturday Night,” and “The Hockey Song” and if there’s a song about your community, you’ll hear that too. Included will be songs written by Tom especially for this occasion: Believe In Your Country, It’s Canada Day, Up Canada Way, C A N A D A, Unity and more.
As the evening’s musical director, Fremlin is also a raconteur with a wealth of fun and personal stories to share — some from his best selling book, My Good Times with Stompin’ Tom.
Whiskey Jack and Sean have presented their onstage antics numerous times since 2014. At their very first show a few months after Tom died, Sean told the audience “Tom wrote songs about potatoes, tomatoes and tobacco but sadly, never about poutine”. Within minutes in front of a sold out crowd, I Love Poutine was written and performed. It brought the house down!
All sales are final unless an event is cancelled, postponed or rescheduled.
