For 4 decades, Whiskey Jack has been performing their unique brand of Canadian country music coast to coast. In the 1980’s they were featured on CBC TV’s Tommy Hunter Show. Watching the Whiskey Jack segment (The Ol’ Black Porch) every Friday night, the retired Stompin’ Tom Connors would become an avid Whiskey Jack fan, enjoying the humour and the amazing musicianship, along with 2 million of his fellow Canadians. When Stompin’ Tom resumed his career after 13 years away, 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 together until Tom’s death in 2014. Those years with Stompin’ Tom were the seeds that blossomed into the show they tour with today, Stories and Songs of Stompin’ Tom.

Bach Music Festival of Canada has recently been renamed to reflect the eclectic nature of the festival and to celebrate the beautiful area where it takes place. Now known as “Huron Waves Music Festival”, the board of directors will continue to offer quality performances of known and upcoming artists of various genres and will continue to provide the community with opportunities for experiencing art through entertainment and education.

Girls and boys ages 8 – 14 will act, sing, write, paint, and make new friends at the Festival’s Youth Arts Camp, July 9 – 13, 2018!

This summer campers will bring Huron County history to life through drama, music, and visual art.

Talented instructors Aimee Rau, Catherine Weber, and Stacy Smith will assist and inspire the campers.

The camp runs 9am – 4pm daily at the Exeter Christian Reformed Church.

The cost is $250 plus HST ($282.50).
