The Whiskey Jack Band

For almost 50 years, Whiskey Jack has been performing their unique brand of Canadian country, folk and roots music throughout North America. In the 1980’s, they were featured weekly on CBC TV’s Tommy Hunter Show. During those years, each Friday night, a temporarily retired Stompin’ Tom Connors would watch their segment, The Ol’ Back Porch and became an avid Whiskey Jack fan. Along with 2 million of his fellow Canadians, Tom enjoyed the band’s humour, soaring vocals and amazing musicianship. When Stompin’ Tom returned to the recording studio and the road after a 13 year hiatus, he called Whiskey Jack and invited them 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 often together until Tom’s death in 2013. With many recordings to their credit, members of the band include band founder and raconteur, Duncan Fremlin on banjo.  On guitar (and many other instruments), with 2 Juno nominations for his voice, virtuosity and his original songs is Douglas John Cameron. Rounding out the band are Billy MacInnis on downeast fiddle, and Chris Adriaanse on standup bass.

Thursday July 23rd will be a mighty night in Hilton Beach!

Roots Music Canada describe the Red Dirt Skinners as “The Pink Floyd of Folk Music.” Music News Magazine state that there is “an almost Floyd-like quality to some of their music.” The Red Dirt Skinners are widely regarded as one of the most innovative acts to come out of the UK in recent years.

The duo’s original style crosses more genres than would make sense to mention. They have won National and International Awards in Songwriting Rock Folk Blues Country Roots Alt-Rock and Indie Rock. If you are open to hearing new songs that are influenced by Pink Floyd Simon and Garfunkel Supertramp Queen and David Bowie coupled with some epic storytelling humour and heartfelt emotions you’ll love a Red Dirt Skinners concert.

With male and female harmonies blending together as one voice and Sarah’s trademark soprano saxophone solos you will be swept along by the refreshingly different sound of the Red Dirt Skinners.

A Red Dirt Skinners concert combines captivating storytelling with knowing lyricism and outstanding musicianship. The Skinners have a natural rapport with their audiences and their live shows are a wonderful experience; a musical journey to remember. Be prepared for laugh-out-loud lyrics followed by songs sure to pull at your heartstrings. Rob and Sarah Skinner now Canadian citizens will steal your hearts. Don’t miss their show!
