Fred Eaglesmith has always marched to the beat of his drum. Born in rural Ontario in 1957, he left home at just 15 years old, hopping freight trains and living a nomadic life that would one day inspire the vivid, working-class stories woven into his music. Over the past five decades, he’s become a true icon of Canadian songwriting, earning a cult following among Americana, folk, and country fans with his raw, poetic lyrics and gravelly voice.

With more than 25 albums to his name, Eaglesmith has carved out a career on his terms. His songs — sometimes witty, sometimes heartbreaking, always honest — have been covered by legends like Toby Keith, Alan Jackson, and Miranda Lambert. Tracks like “Time to Get a Gun” and “Freight Train” have become anthems for those who live life a little rougher around the edges. On stage, Eaglesmith is electric, delivering performances that feel equal parts rock show and revival meeting, captivating audiences with every note.

These days, Eaglesmith isn’t on the road as much, choosing instead to play select, carefully curated shows. But when he does take the stage, he does so with a fresh new sound. Alongside his multi-instrumentalist wife, Tif Ginn, Eaglesmith has teamed up with The Velvet Frogs, a band that infuses his rootsy grit with psychedelic undertones and a bit of rock ‘n’ roll swagger. Together, they breathe new life into his classic songs while introducing bold new material that proves Eaglesmith is as inventive as ever.

Decades into his career, Fred Eaglesmith pushes boundaries and defies expectations. Whether you’ve been following his music for years or just discovering him now, one thing is sure: Eaglesmith is still writing his story, one unforgettable song at a time.
