 (June 30, 2016 - Halifax) Willie Stratton is hitting the road this summer with his pals Them Other Johns, touring their brand of old time country music in the Maritimes, Ontario and Quebec. The elusive Them Other Johns (Alex Forbes, Dave Campbell and Jill Chambers) play classic country from the guts of Halifax, so it’s only right that Willie is teaming up with Them Other Johns to tour from Halifax to Montreal and back again.
The tour begins at Plan b in Moncton July 30, then they head to Madoc, ON to play August 5 at the Barley Pub & Eatery. August 6 they play Montreal Country Music Institution The Wheel Club. Founded in 1966 The Wheel Club is host to the legendary ‘Hillbilly Jam,’ which is put together by the Old Time Country Music Club of Canada. August 10 in St. Andrew’s, NB they play Red Herring Pub, then they play Atlantic Canada’s freshest folk music festival, The Island Folk Festival Cloggeroo August 13 in Georgetown, PEI. August 15 they perform at “ECMA Monday” in Market Square in Saint John, NB in anticipation of upcoming 2017 East Coast Music Week.

Conjuring up a whirlwind of early jazz, blues, and folk styles, the stomping troubadour comes to the stage with a banjo in one hand and a guitar in the other and channels the spirits of long dead old timers like Dock Boggs, Charley Patton, and Fats Waller to name a few; bringing with him technical prowess and musical whit of a bygone era.
