Whiskey Jack is one of the foremost vocal harmony, acoustic country stalwarts in Canadian music, with an impressive recording and broadcasting career. Hailed as “the Manhattan Transfer of country music”, they are clearly having fun as they perform with a relaxed enthusiasm that comes only from experience. If you like good times, good music, and a few laughs, you owe it to yourself to come out and hear Whiskey Jack.

In addition to Tom’s Peterborough Postman, expect to hear Bud the Spud, Tillsonburg, Sudbury Saturday Night, Big Joe Mufferaw, The Ketchup Song and of course, be prepared to sing  along on The Hockey Song.
