Since Whiskey Jack's inception 45+ years ago, their fans have been showering them with accolades, celebrating their songs and stories. One constant that has fueled their success is the ability to deliver a polished show exuding charm, ease and playfulness, qualities that are especially welcomed in this post COVID world and bring crowds to their feet.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.
Today, Duncan is joined by two-time Juno nominee, Douglas John Cameron and Stompin' Tom's favourite fiddler, from PEI, Billy MacInnis. These seasoned veterans carry the Whiskey Jack tradition into 2024 and beyond.
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.
Billy MacInnis is a force on many instruments but when he pulls out his fiddle, the crowd is on their feet. He “owns” this music.Whiskey Jack in 2024 continues to write, record and tour across the country. Their new album, Whiskey Jack 10- Do It Again, is now available on all platforms.
