Fred Eaglesmith

It doesn’t come more real than Fred Eaglesmith. For four decades, this folk singer has spun his tales of heartbreaks and high moments from televised late night shows to intimate bar rooms. His songs have been recorded by rural artists to punk rockers and tracks like “Trucker Speed” have been featured in thousands of online videos and reels viewed by millions of people. Not bad for a songwriter from rural Canada. That’s probably because he uses his talent to write songs that are as raw and real as the asphalt road he travels with a wink, a nod and a smile over an ice-cold beer. -Mat Weir; Good Times Santa Cruz
