He is known for many classic hits,
including "Bud The Spud" "Ben In The Pen"
"Margo's Cargo" "Sudbury Saturday Night"
"The Hockey Song" "Luke's Guitar" "The Ketchup Song"
and many more!
Stompin' Tom combines the sound of
traditional country western music,
with Canadian folk music.
A very unique blend!

As somone born, raised and currently lives in sudbury this song kicks ass

Does it ever
Stompin' Tom is a true Canadian legend. If you cant sing any of his songs, you aint Canadian
@@time2check138 Calgarian here and I am more than familiar with Stompin Tom's songs
I'm an American, but I grew up 20 miles from the border so most of the tv and radio stations I grew up with were Canadian. Hockey Night in Canada, the Beachcombers and Stompin' Tom Connors! 🙂
Lmao that’s awesome. Stompin’ Tom is pretty legit!
Super lucky for you! Lol!
Lol dig that
Cool
I'm American too, but growing up, my family and I used to go camping with a trailer on Prince Edward Island, or P.E.I. for short, and we did it every summer until I was a bit more half grown for their own reasons, and we did go in my final year of high school, but it wasn't our trailer, it was a cabin, well my parents in the next few years, they'll have a motorhome, and when I plan time off of work, the three of us, my mom, my dad, and I will go to P.E.I. again, just for old times sake, get back in that kind of groove we used to be in after so many years, but in a different style, and all that kind of camping we did then made my dad interested in this music, which then got me interested too. R.I.P. Tom.
Grandpa mined Nickel for INCO for 42 years and passed in 2016. Now he's up in heaven getting stinko while Grandma's in a home playing Bingo on a Sudbury Saturday Night.
God bless him. a real man he was I'm sure
Not gonna lie. Here because the song was referenced in season 2 of Shoresy
give your balls a tug
Same. And I have zero regrets
Haha same
Me too brother
Good reason to get some Canadian culture.
They got a statue of this man outside the sudbury arena! Canadian icon!
Seen him play live at our local fair they had to pull him from the beer garden to go on stage what a beauty
Ha ha. Sounds like him. His son played at a legion hall in the north and ended up partying at their hunting camp. Good times
Tom also wrote Fire in The Mine, about a fire in the McIntyre mine in Schumacher, Ontario. Terrible tragedy, and Tom was in residence in Timmins, the next town over, when it happend. He was the music man in a bar in Timmins, The Maple Leaf Tavern. Used to drink there in my youth. He stomped a hole in the stage, so they gave him his first Stompin’ board. It used to hang on the wall there. Haven’t been back there since my parents died. Hope the Maple Leaf is still going strong. 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦
Proud to say that this song was written 50 years ago about my hometown Sudbury. Ontario, Canada! Also he mentions "Scotty Jack Macdonald" which might be my great-grandfather!
Huh?
@@611gay5figure it out
That's awesome.
Sudbury is ghetto AF, bro. Hope you safe with all them junkies running around.
I can’t wait to see your amazing home town this April!
When music had heart and soul and was REAL. Canadiana at its finest.
Yes, you can't get more real than Stompin' Tom Connors and his songs.
I like to crank up this song and have a molson Canadian
Majorsmythe. Spot on fella. Truly Canadian. The ORIGINAL OG. He never sold out. He was humble and never forgot where he came from. He may be gone but like it or not he'll always be in hearts of us Canadians.
We’re still here, just an old Canada
this music is fucking trash, fuck you mean?
I lived in Cleveland from '91 until '03, and with my (then) wife we met and befriended a bunch of Canadians from Mississauga who we'd go up to see at least once, sometimes twice a month. We were up there so much our friends named us "Honorary Canadians", and turned us on to Stompin' tom and The Tragically Hip. One weekend in the mid/late-'90's I drove up and me and the boys headed North and saw Stomping Tom in Peterborough at the arena there. I have his 1st book and several CD's, and rock them. We used to listen to his "Proud Canadian" compilation almost non-stop every time when we were partying. RIP Tom, from your biggest American fan! I also saw The Tragically Hip play in Cleveland. Also saw Rush (Signals) and Triumph twice (Rose Bowl and Us Festival '83), but sadly missed April Wine. Lots of good music and rock coming from my Canadian Brothers!
Most underrated musician of all time,truly love Tom Connors..
Are you Canadian? .... I agree, he was so under-appreciated!
In addition to being a true Canadian cultural icon, he was also a gifted astronomer - for he correctly identified the Man in the Moon!
I was at the Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto in 1973 and saw one of these shows. The wood was flying.
Mary Jane Mullaney I envy you. Never got to see him live.
Pac3steel I admire his self made success. He never gave up. An inspiration for many and so entertaining.
Mary jane. Me too. Started the afternoon at grossmans and stumbled down to Queen in time for the start. a good if fuzzy time was had by all.
The sparks were flying too.
I'm from Timmins Ontario Canada where Stompin Tom first became popular at The Maple Leaf Hotel 🙂😎☕🎤🎸🍁🇨🇦
If this doesn't get you fired up, you don't have a pulse. Thank you for your contribution to Canadian culture, Tom! You will be missed.
Seen him play at the Buffalo hotel in Reddeer Alberta..in the middle 80s.
Was a night to remember. RIP. Tom.
Cool
A Canadian cultural hero! No doubt!!!
my dad used to pick up my youngest dsughter after school and got her hooked on stoppin tom.she still listens to stoppin tom today,god bless you dad,love and miss you,RIP.GOD LOVE YOU GIVE MOM ANS CATHY A HUG AND KISS FOR ME.
Not just Canada - the first song played at the United Center before every Hawks game is The Hockey Song.
Oh he was indeed a true Canadian gem
I saw Leonard Cohen in concert in 2013, in his intro to Tower of Song he referenced "Those we have recently lost in the tower of song, Rita, Stompin' Tom and now George Jones", I never would have guessed Leaonard Cohen was a fan.
Whenever I have a run to Sudbury, this song runs through my head. Good times.
I saw him at the Horseshoe. They were made for each other.
A Canadian icon. (February 9, 1936 - March 6, 2013) R.I.P Good Sir.
Drinking a beer in Sudbury right now😊. Cheers Tom!!
Those that haven't read at least his first book, SHOULD. My Canadian friends gave it to me for Christmas one year, and it's an amazing story. I really need to get the second one, but I think the first will still be the best because that covers his really rough life from a kid to when he FINALLY made it.
Coming from a north west Ontario mill town this song makes me think of the men of my Grandfathers generation, out for a well deserved good time with friends after a long hard work week.
I just grin ear to ear listening too this song and watching Stomping Tom back in his prime , what a fantastic applause at the end.
I've got Sudbury roots and with all the shit Sudbury always gets, this song gives me a sense of pride for my family and heritage. Thanks, Stompin' Tom. Rest in peace.
Aleksander Sochan there's no where in Canada you can live that Tom can't make you feel proud of
Even Tilsonburgh!
@@meanjoe4299 Well said!
2022 here. I saw Tom at the Horseshoe right about this time. You had to be 21 to get into a licensed place in those days and the H/S was about he first place I went. God bless Stompin' Tom. Forever in our memories!
Our drinking age was 18 in Ontario until 1979...
Fortunately, I looked "Older" and managed to meet him while 'A Minor" but I'll deliberately MISSPELL IT: "A MINER" as STOMPIN' TOM Loved to support and Encourage our Hard-Working CDNs especially, Our Valued YOUTH!
He's GREATLY Missed!!!!
@@jeffreybarkin3177 hi there. I managed a Brewers Retail Store in Toronto in those days. We went from 21 to 18, which was a disaster, and back up to 19 to try and get it out of the high schools. Of course, every 18 year old knows a 19 year old, so the "remedy" was pretty much a joke. The 19s used to roll in and fill the car with 2-4s for their friends/customers. Typical regulatory bollocks.
The good old Horseshoe tavern back when Toronto was a great city
He nailed Sudbury perfectly! My sister lives there and I went to school there for a year. Mining towns are great places to live! 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦
im proud to say this is my home
"All the songs we'll be singing they might be wrong but they'll be ringing" What a beauty, thank you Stomping Tom.
About my 10th time here
Now there's a bit of Canadiana, I still say Tom was punk even before we had punk, god bless this man!!!
Stompin tom was from a generation that right or wrong fought battles that took there toll ,they worked jobs they perhaps didnt like but they did it for their family and country and only wanted their children to have a better life ,they didn't take ,,they gave ,,okay i'll get off the soapbox
Great singer , grew up listening to his music, he made songs of places from far north to Toronto, he played a lot at the horse shoe tavern 🇨🇦
Shoresy brought me here.
yup
Let there be a Stompin Tom day, suggestively at his birthday, 9 february.
Remembering Canada's spirit. God Bless the Canadian souls within her.
A damn fine Canadian. I'm going for a export a and some rye right now.
Rip
Classic... Being from Sudbury, I always love hearing this.
Being from Canada, I always love hearing this.
Cheers from Niagara!
Sudbury proud woo-hoo!!!! Love u stomping Tom.
Hands down this is the best version of this song ever. The lead guitar doesn’t just kinda mimic the melody like the versions on Bud The Spud or Live at the Horseshoe, and that definitely ads to the song.
Thanks for posting. This is forever a good memory song about my dad. He wasn’t a big musical guy but this hits home for me
Freaking classic! Go Stompin Tom!.
Brings back memorys of when i lived in sudbury
Gotta love STC!! He's been my fave since i was "clogging" with my big sis to him on 8 track 30 some odd yrs ago. RIP, my Can hero!
Mr Canada Himself,,,Stompin Tom!!!!
Whoever disliked Stompin Tom must not be a born Canadain .. If they are Shame on them .
I'm American and live in Michigan, and I enjoy it! I even heard that Stompin' Tom had been to Michigan a few times before!
Doing my first show in Sudbury tomorrow night. Gotta love this song!
So close to seein the ol boy just a few yrs ago....rip

Proud to be Canadian rip Tom
It's awesome how the camera Man zoomed in on the cigarette when you could smoke anywhere, it shows the past well
Wish I'd been able to see him in a live performance.
I saw him do this song in Sudbury Ontario across the railway station at the bar
Reminds me of my town here in the states. Everyone works at the prison and after a long week we meet at the bar
Hockey brings people together.
Until CBC fires Don Cherry, goes woke, and adds lesbian broadcasters
For the Community - By the Community

I wonder if he didn't write this song sitting . in the bar at the Mine mill hall in Sudbury.. The bar was downstairs and the they had bingo in the hall upstairs on Saturday nights. It was a very busy place upstairs and downstairs on that night.
Greetings from Manitoulin -- where many a man came from that worked at INCO
Awesome!
its a crime this man is not on canadian money
I still watch the BEACH COMBERS ha ha
Nice check this original tribute to Tom : "take it all stomping"
Horseshoe Tavern.
Sapadina Ave.
Trawna❤
Stompin Tom on the 100 Dollar bill!
the theme song of car salesmen, priceless
Super
ah I thought that was the horseshoe....man, been a long time since I was down that way......
Cool
Canadiana personified
RIP Tom
From an American perspective just hearing this song it sounds like an Irish song mixed with a country song, hence it must be Canadian.
stomp in heaven sweet prince
