The Fall 2018 Fred Eaglesmith tour schedule is almost all about small halls.\u00a0 After Starbuck, Manitoba (not Starbucks, but Starbuck Community Hall), they will reach Winnipeg to play the Park Theatre.\u00a0 Then begins their return home to Ontario.\u00a0 About 21 months have passed since Fred Eaglesmith played many shows in this part of the province with his talented wife, Tif Ginn Elgersma, from Schulenburg, Texas. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0In late September these awesome singer- songwriters will return to Northern Ontario as part of their independent musical journey, on a back roads tour. \u00a0They will be driving long days from Western Canada with enough instruments to fill a small bus, carrying their own sound system, and ready to play. Songwriters in motion.<\/p>\n

On Sept. \u00a027, 2018 Fred and Tif will head to the north and western town of Perrault Falls, Ontario on Highway 105, for a play at the Whiskey Jack. \u00a0Sounds like an awesome place for a Fred Eaglesmith show.<\/p>\n

On Friday Sept. 28, they will reach Thunder Bay on Lake Superior \u2013 where Fred and Tif will play the Murillo Community Hall, a favourite venue for a family show, in farm country.\u00a0 Advance tickets ($30) are available now in Thunder Bay at Fireweed, Chaltrek, and PC Medic, and in Murillo at Valley Foods, near the Murillo Hall.\u00a0\u00a0 The sound has always been good at Murillo Community Centre, and Canadian artists who have played there in recent years would agree (JP Cormier, Valdy, David Francey, and Fred Eaglesmith to name a few).<\/p>\n

After a ride along the north shore of Lake Superior, the duo of Fred and Tiff will reach Wawa.\u00a0 The Wawa Legion Hall will welcome you and a hundred or so other \u201cFredheads\u201d for a small and intimate show on Saturday, Sept. 29, 2018.\u00a0 We consider Wawa to be a \u201cmust-see\u201d show because it is such a Fred friendly town and many forest workers and firefighters are based there.\u00a0 (And it will be warmer inside than during the new Canadian Goose ceremony a year ago when they played outdoors.)\u00a0 \u00a0Advance tickets ($30) are available at the Wawa Legion and online at Fred\u2019s website, www.fredeaglesmith.com.<\/p>\n

After passing the Sault, they will soon reach Bruce Mines, Ontario.\u00a0 Fred Eaglesmith and Tif Ginn will play another family show, at the Bruce Mines Community Centre, on Tuesday night,\u00a0 Oct. 2, 2018, at 7 pm. \u00a0This is the second time in two years that they have played there, and it is a beautifully renovated hall right on Highway 17, close to the Sault, Echo Bay, Blind River, Thessalon and Iron Bridge.\u00a0 Advance Tickets are available at Bobbers Restaurant in Bruce Mines, and at the Rad Zone in the Sault, as well as online at www.fredeaglesmith.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, October 3, 2018, Fred Eaglesmith and Tif Ginn Elgersma will play North Bay, at the fabulous West Ferris Legion, which has a bar built like the interior of a sailing vessel.\u00a0 The West Ferris Legion Show will start at 7 pm Oct. 3, 2018, and advance tickets are available online, and in North Bay at the West Ferris Legion, Waxman Records on Main Street, and Gateway Home Hardware on Algonquin.<\/p>\n

Finally, Fred Eaglesmith and Tif Ginn Elgersma will return to cottage country, to play downtown Haliburton, at McKeck\u2019s Restaurant.\u00a0 This is another great \u201csmall hall\u201d venue and tickets are expected to go fast. You can purchase tickets at McKecks or online. The Haliburton Show is scheduled for 7 pm, Thursday, Oct. 4, 2018.<\/p>\n

Thank you for supporting these artists as they make their way through Northern Ontario.\u00a0 Every show is worth the drive.\u00a0 \u00a0Hope to see you there.\u00a0 Dust off the passenger seat and bring your friends.\u00a0 Advance Tickets are $30 this year:\u00a0 worth every penny to hear the original songs, stories and jokes, and road adventures.<\/p>\n
