Fred Eaglesmith LIVE!  As real as it gets. Unvarnished, tough, and raw songs
of heartbreak, fast cars, hard times and hard truths, sung and played as if
the whole world depends on it. By turns funny and painfully honest, racous
and savagely beautiful, the Fred Eaglesmith band is considered by many to be
the best live act going today. Since first hitting the road in 1996, Fred
Eaglesmith and his band have received critical acclaim from almost every
major an minor newspaper in Canada and the US. The concerts are a mixture of
hard-edged honkytonk, a balance between rock and early-sixties country music
that's passionate, funny and sentimental all at once, as if Hank Williams
joined the Rolling Stones. As one reviewer said, "It takes a jaded soul to
leave a Fred Eaglesmith show unaffected." Or as Fred's fans say, "You get
religion." The band itself is extraordinary, beginning with Canadian icon
Willie P. Bennett (mandolin, harp, vocals) - a song-writing legend in his
own right - who is considered one of the most innovative mandolin players in
the world. The band also includes Dan Walsh (electric baritone guitar),
Roger Marin (guitar, steel guitar, vocals), Skip Wamsteeker (percussion,
vocals), and Darcy Yates (bass, vocals). Nobody is sure how it works/ it
just does. Fred Eaglesmith has consistently held down the left side of the
'Americana' chart, with albums in the top-ten for months. They have gone
from relative unknown to selling out major venues in Canada and the US and
having one of the most devoted fan bases since the Grateful Dead.
