​It all started
with Jimmy

Jimmy is a Gwitch'en fiddler that can light up any instrument that comes his way.
​
Uncle Jimmy had a real heyday in the 70s and 80s and now comes at music with pure joy and a desire to share his culture and country tunes with young and old.

The Backing Band
The Hammerstones backing band has had a few incarnations. This current crew kicked off their shows 2.5 years ago at Aboriginal Day (now Indigenous Day) at the Danoja Zho Cultural Centre, and they haven't stopped since.

Peter Menzies loves to MC and tell stories up front with Jimmy. Peter & Jimmy trade off on vocals, fiddle and guitar.  
'Frasquita' April burns is up on fiddle and backing vocals, Alex Halbom holds it down on stand-up or electric bass & vocals, and Basia Barb Hinton backs it up on drums. The band is soon to include the agile Kristen Poenn on fiddle, vocals, and piano/keys
on a regular basis.
Previous members include , France Catherine.

Dawson Youth Fiddlers 
Peter Menzies, the Youth Fiddle Club & the Klondike Fiddle Association work with Youth Fiddlers based out of Dawson and including Old Crow and other Yukon communities. Uncle Jimmy and the Hammerstones is a regular backing band for this Youth Fiddle club, and members often travel with and teach the youth so that they have the experience and performing live with a full band.
