Fred Eaglesmith is a Canadian songwriter whose songs range from deep southern country to contemporary folk, from deep cutting soul cutting lyrics to humorous and satirical. He ’s spent 42 years on the road, released 22 studio albums, had 5 different bands configurations, 15 band members, 11 buses and countless tales of wisdom.

A raconteur known for his funny stories and sometimes funny, sometimes poignant songs … a
figure to who ‘entertainer,’ ‘iconoclast,’ ‘humorous’ and ‘original’ can be applied in equal measure.

Eaglesmith has songs about the isolation and loneliness and chemically enhanced alertness of the open road (‘Trucker Speed’)… Fans of Bruce Springsteen should give Eaglesmith a listen; he’s a similarly sympathetic songwriter, with a dash of old rock-revival energy, narrative punch and a fair bit of humor.
