Fred Eaglesmith with The Eilen Jewell Band

Canadian Roots rocker. His songs are populated with people he has been and has known: tried-but-true blue-collar guys, tired cowboys, young boys in love, bare-knuckled farmers, heartbreakingly good women, beautifully bad women, lonesome good guys, bravura bad guys and Friday-night criminals. Eaglesmith's songs have been covered by a steadily growing list of artists, including the Cowboy Junkies, Chris Knight, Dar Williams and Kasey Chambers. A Fred Eaglesmith show features a mix of passionate, funny and moving music, ridiculously funny comedy, honest tears and poignant observations all at once.
