Stompin' Tom Connors, born Charles Thomas Connors on February 9, 1936, was a quintessential Canadian country and folk singer-songwriter whose music proudly celebrated his country’s culture and people.

His songs often painted vivid pictures of everyday Canadian life, earning him a devoted following and cementing his status as a national treasure.

Throughout his career, Stompin' Tom Connors released over 50 albums, with several posthumous compilations adding to this rich discography. His music, including beloved staples such as "Bud the Spud," "Sudbury Saturday Night," and the hockey anthem "The Hockey Song," resonated with Canadians from coast to coast and earned him multiple honors, including the Order of Canada. Connors passed away on March 6, 2013, but left behind a legacy of nationalism and a body of work that continues to inspire Canadian pride. The titles of his releases, such as "Merry Christmas Everybody From Stompin' Tom Connors" and "Believe In Your Country," exemplify not only his extensive catalog but also his unwavering dedication to his country. His music remains a testament to his love for Canada and its people.
