Video: Fred Eaglesmith @ Off Broadway

I showed up late to Off Broadway this past Tuesday, but not that late. Fred Eaglesmith had sized up the packed room, noted the average age, and apparently decided to make it an early night. But the 1/2 hour I did catch was classic Fred: Funny, random, soulful, and a better guitar player than you’d guess. And his young band is tightening up considerably. We’re lucky the Ontario native makes Saint Louis a regular stop.

Here’s the last song of the night, the classic “Drive-In Movie,” with opener Audrey Auld singing along.

    Thanks for posting that, Roy. One of my all time favorite songs. Fred’s jacket is so sparkly.

    “Random” describes what, exactly…?

    His jacket was suave. Apparently he’s scoping out winter homes in Panama. He’s got the salsa lounge look working for him, or something like that.

    We should get him back to Twangfest next year!

    Tony: Random describes his mental associations.
