Fred Eaglesmith has played everywhere from The Late Show with David Letterman to the Grand Ole Opry to Lincoln Center, but this fall, Canada’s most uncompromising troubadour brings his whip-smart songwriting and road-tested show back to the small towns that inspired him.A Juno Award-winning poet of rural Canada, Eaglesmith has spent four decades turning service-station stories, county-fair romances, broken-down tractors, and gravel roads into timeless songs. His devoted fan base, the “Fred Heads,” and his reputation for shows that are equal parts intimate and electrifying have made him a cornerstone of alt-country. His songs have been covered by Alan Jackson, Toby Keith, and Miranda Lambert, and more than 120 artists -from bluegrass to punk - have recorded his cult classic “Alcohol & Pills.” His hit “Trucker Speed” has been named one of the 100 Top Americana Songs of All Time and has generated over 60 million views across thousands of fan-made videos.
For the past 15 years, Eaglesmith has toured with his wife, Texas-born multi-instrumentalist Tif Ginn, whose musical chemistry with Fred brings both classic and new songs vividly to life. After 25 albums and a lifetime on the road, Eaglesmith isn’t slowing do - he’s still pointing the truck toward the next great night of music, delivering a show that’s funny, raw, and deeply human.
