Drivin', shootin', cheatin', schemin', and boozin' ... just another day on the farm with The Fred Eaglesmith Traveling Show featuring the Fabulous Ginn Sisters on Saturday, March 3, 2012, 7pm at Jefferson Hall!

One of nine children raised by a farming family in rural Southern Ontario, as a teenager Eaglesmith hopped a freight train out to Western Canada, and began writing songs and performing. He is known for writing songs about machines or vehicles, including songs about trains, tractors, trucks, cars, and engines. Rural life, dogs, guns, drinking and farming/ranching are other common themes. Many of his songs are about failing farms and small businesses. Down and out characters dealing with loss of love or livelihood, and quirky rural folk also populate his songs. His songwriting uses many of the techniques of short story writing, including unreliable narrators, surprise endings, and plot twists.
