FRED EAGLESMITH

Fred Eaglesmith has played them all; from television’s The Late Show with David Letterman to the legendary Grand Ole Opry in Nashville to the refined acoustics of the Lincoln Center, but this fall, Canada’s most uncompromising troubadour brings his whip-smart songwriting and road-tested show back to the very communites that inspired him.

And you won’t want to miss it.

The Juno Award winning poet of rural Canada has spent four decades turning service station stories, county fair romances, broken down old tractors, and gravel roads into timeless songs. His devoted fan base, affectionately known as ‘Fred Heads’ and a reputation for delivering shows that are equal parts intimate and electrifying have established this founder of alt-country as the benchmark for his contemporaries as well as aspiring artists. Eaglesmith’s songs, filled with wit, heart, and unvarnished truth have been covered by the likes of Alan Jackson, Toby Keith, Miranda Lambert and countless others. Over 120 artists from Bluegrass to Punk have recorded his popular tune, “Alcohol & Pills.” His hit, “Trucker Speed,” has been named to the 100 Top Americana Songs of All Time and garnered over 60 million views with over 6 thousand independent videos having been created on Tik Tok.

For the last 15 years,Eaglesmith has been joined by Texas-born, multi-instrumentalist, Tif Ginn, who also happens to be his wife. Together they have developed a musical symbiosis that only comes from countless miles, shared stages and an undenyable chemistry. And now with the addition of their band, which includes their 16 year old, 30 year old songs land like fresh revelations and new tunes take shape in real time.

Eaglesmith carries the weight of a legend lightly. After a lifetime of touring and 25 albums under his belt he’d have every right to rest on his laurels. Instead, he’s doing what he’s always done: pointing the truck toward Canada’s backroads, where the next great night of music waits to be sparked. His signature sound of country soul & rock energy with his between-song tales only he can tell- equally hilarious & heartbreaking, make the Fred Eaglesmith Show unmatched. Fred doesn’t just perform in these small towns, he plugs into their heartbeat-after all these years, that’s still his superpower.
