Wawa Fans Can Still See Eaglesmith at One of His Other Northern Shows
Eaglesmith Ready to Rock the Back Roads of Rural Ontario
Fred Eaglesmith’s career playing music as a travelling, iconic, independent musician is, what you might call “Songwriting in Motion”. Things are always on the hotter side of busy for the road rocker, who is currently in Western Canada touring with his songwriter spouse, Tif Ginn. In the Fall of 2018, they are coming to perform live in Northern Ontario. Just in time for the fall colours of Thunder Bay and Algoma.
Eaglesmith is a veteran of the music industry from southern Ontario, and Tif Ginn is from southern Texas. Fred Eaglesmith has had a number of his original songs recorded by major artists, including Miranda Lambert, Toby Keith and Alan Jackson. But, his career is “about as far away from actually participating in today’s music industry as one could be. Never operating within anyone’s boundaries, he continues to set the standard for independent artists everywhere.”
These are not alternative facts:
- 43 years on the road.
- 22 studio albums.
- 5 different band configurations.
- 15 band members.
- 11 buses.
- Countless stories.
- 1 man.
Eaglesmith and Tif Ginn Elgersma will be here soon in the new bus. You can see them up close in a small venue with great sound and other fine fans at these back road community halls:
- Murillo Community Hall, Friday, Sept. 28, 2018, 8 pm (Advance Tickets available at Fireweed, Chaltrek, PC Medic and Valley Foods.)
- Bruce Mines Community Centre, Tuesday Oct. 2, 2018 at 7 pm (Advance Tickets available at Bobbers Restaurant and The Rad Zone in Sault Ste. Marie)
- North Bay West Ferris Legion, Wednesday, Oct. 3, 20178 at 7 pm (Advance Tickets available at Gateway Home Hardware, Waxman Records and the West Ferris Royal Canadian Legion)
(Please note: other fall shows planned for Wawa and Haliburton have been postponed this year but the artists will be back to play another day with more music.)

“Eaglesmith snarled out lyrics that underscore his overriding attitude that music and musicians ought to be cherished in the here-and-now and valued for the quality of their art, not the size of their bank accounts or TV ratings.” – Los Angeles Times
If you haven’t seen Fred Eaglesmith and Tif Ginn play their songs live, now is the time. Come as you are. The concerts in Murillo and Bruce Mines are open to all ages. Be ready to be entertained and have fun. Meet the man and woman in person. Bring your significant other, or your neighbour, and your Dad.

“His steam punk attitude transfers to the stage with a dose of lyrical inventiveness that fascinates.” – Austin Chronicle
