Remembering Stompin' Tom Connors with Duncan Fremlin
Canadian country and folk legend Stompin’ Tom Connors—an Officer of the Order of Canada and one of the greatest storytellers in the nation’s musical history—is fondly remembered by his longtime friend and collaborator Duncan Fremlin.
Over 25 years, Duncan recorded and toured with Tom, sharing stages and logging countless miles across Canada’s highways. In this tribute, he recalls the honor he felt when Tom first invited him to perform, the realities of life on the road, and Tom’s complex relationship with fame. He also reflects on how Tom’s difficult early years shaped his music, and the deep, unwavering pride in Canada that defined both his songs and his spirit. Duncan’s stories bring the man behind the legend to life—from the iconic Black Stetson to the famous “stompin’ boards,” and many unforgettable moments in between.
