Fred Eaglesmith coming to The Hideout

Freight-train-hopping country singer Fred Eaglesmith will bring his quirky story-songs to Red Deer’s The Hideout on Thursday.

The alternative country singer from southern Ontario is known for writing about the peculiarities of rural life, including down-and-out characters, dogs, trains, guns and the loss of love.

With 19 albums behind him, including his latest, 6 Volts, he’ll have plenty of material to choose from when he brings his Travelling Steam Show to town.

Tickets to his 8 p.m. performance are $20 at the door. For more information, call 403-348-5319.
