Legendary songwriter Fred Eaglesmith has one of most fascinating careers in contemporary music. He has released 19 albums, the latest "6 Volts" was captured live in the studio with one microphone onto a one-track reel to reel recorder. His songs have been covered by Alan Jackson, Miranda Lambert, Toby Keith, Cowboy Junkies, Mary Gauthier, Todd Snider, Dar Williams, Chris Knight, and Kasey Chambers. Throughout the years since his first album in 1980, Eaglesmith has usefully managed to both transcend and blend such genres and categories as rock’n’roll, country, folk, singer-songwriter, Americana, blues and bluegrass to fashion his own distinctive brand of literate, melodic and rhythmic rocking elecro-acoustic North American music. Along the way he has gathered a unique set of accomplishments: a Juno Award for Best Roots & Traditional Album, had his music used in films by Martin Scorsese and James Caan, wrote a hit #1 on the bluegrass charts (“Thirty Years of Farming,” recorded by James King), wowing David Letterman in his U.S. network debut in 2010, and finding his songs included in the curriculum at two colleges. His followers are so devoted that he is the host and centerpiece of a number of music festivals in the U.S. and Canada. He will be joined on this tour by Kori Hepner (drums), Justine Fischer (upright bass, Matty Simpson (manjo, guitar, organ), and Mike Zinger (mandolin, banjo).
