Tom Jackson - T'was in the Moon of Wintertime

7:00 PM

For over 40 years, actor, singer, producer, activist, Tom Jackson has crafted a compassionate stage of caring.  He has embraced his life experiences, championed for the marginalized, and entertained a continent of concert-goers and TV watchers.  His acumen has earned him recognition amongst his peers, yet he humbly perseveres as it’s the reward he seeks, not the award.

Born to an English father and Cree mother, he carries the legacy of his parents’ search for social acceptance and their selfless manner of keeping their door open for anyone who might need a meal, or a conversation.   His personal journey of identity led him to the streets of Winnipeg, and a bond with those outcast and struggling to make their economic way in the world.  Tom’s voice became his way off the streets – figuratively and literally – and in to radio stations, television studios, theatres and on the stage.

Penned the master of disaster, or minstrel with a message, it is music – his first love – that draws him to create change with the touch of a song, a poem, a musical or a concert tour.  Tom has recorded 14 albums, including ‘Twas in the Moon of Wintertime, his annual Christmas tour of the same name.  Hitting the road again at Christmas time marks a20 year history of cross-Canada travel raising awareness and funds for food banks, community service and charitable organizations.

His mantra of being in service to others is secured with his choice to engage if it’s good business, good for the world, and good for the soul.  He can light up a room with his storytelling, endearing humour and self-penned tunes. 

This is a fundraising concert for Harvest Share: Please bring a tin for the bin.

“You don’t have to change the whole world, you just have to change your world, and the rest will follow.”
