Dauphin and District Allied Arts council presents Fred Eaglesmith at the WAC

Tuesday July 8, 8:00pm

Award-winning singer-songwriter Fred Eaglesmith inspires comparisons to icons like Woody Guthrie and Bruce Springsteen, tops the roots music charts, and boasts devoted fans that include a slew of his fellow songwriters. High-profile tastemakers in the know — fellow musicians like Toby Keith and The Cowboy Junkies as well as film folks like Martin Scorsese and James Caan, to name a few — consider him one of the stellar musical and lyrical talents of our day.

Though a decidedly grassroots artist in the thematic focus of his songs and how he pursues his career, playing some 180 shows a year across North America as well as Europe and Australia and releasing his own records under his cheekily-titled A Major Label imprint, Eaglesmith boasts an impact that far better known musical acts can only dream of.

Tuesday, July 8 doors open 7 p.m. show starts 7:30 p.m. earlybird advance tickets are $25 or $30 at the door available at WAC, Dauphin Music and Electronics or Fiddlelore Store call the ticketline at 638-6231
