skelter Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 Fredheads rejoice! Thursday, December 9 at Elixir (14 Garrett St) - doors open at 7 PM, Roger Marin's band will open, starting at 8 PM "Fred Eaglesmith is a Canadian singer/songwriter/storyteller/comedian who reads books on nano-technology, likes machinery, and runs his farm entirely on wind and solar energy. And his band has their quirks, too. For the past decade, Fred and his free-spirited troop of modern-day troubadours have worn a zig-zag trail across North America, with trips to Europe and Australia recently added to their quixotic adventures. The miles winding away through the night beneath the wheels of their battered bus bear the mark of their passing. In their rearview mirror are scenes of rabid Fredheads whooping and whistling for the raw, driving country soul scorching the stage. Audiences laughing until their sides ache at the hilarious personal tales Fred weaves into his show. Newly converted fans stunned into silence as the balladeer shares poignant tales of aching loss — or grinning at his tongue-in-cheek take on the human condition." Tickets are $15 and on sale now at Brian's Record Option, Zap Records, UBS Exchange, Renaissance Music, Elixir and on-line at www.rockcrew.ca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bokonon Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 the two times i have met fred eaglesmith he had total rockstar attitude, which totally detracts from my appreciation of his music. i don't care who you are, you don't need to have that kind of holier-than-thou attitude. i don't give a rat's ass about fame and not much for fortune either.

Tickler Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 I saw him once and thought it was ok. I would not go again. My friends from home loved the show though, so what do I know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
