After all these years touring USA, Canada and Europe – having his songs covered by some of the biggest names in music, and appearing on “The Late Show” with David Letterman – the enigmatic, countrified, rock n' roll troubadour: Fred Eaglesmith, is carrying on with musical wife Tif Ginn, a gutsy, amazing singer and a transcendent songwriter who has spent most of her life touring and playing music.

Her impressive, sultry vocals and glorious harmonies with Fred, along with her multiple instrument additions to the show will have you in awe. This girl has it all­, including Fred!
