His devoted fan base, affectionately known as ‘Fred Heads’ and a reputation for delivering shows that are equal parts intimate and electrifying have established this founder of alt-country as the benchmark for his contemporaries as well as aspiring artists. Eaglesmith’s songs, filled with wit, heart, and unvarnished truth have been covered by the likes of Alan Jackson, Toby Keith, Miranda Lambert and countless others. Over 120 artists from Bluegrass to Punk have recorded his popular tune, “Alcohol & Pills.” His hit, “Trucker Speed,” has been named to the 100 Top Americana Songs of All Time and garnered over 60 million views with over 6 thousand independent videos having been created on Tik Tok.For the last 15 years,Eaglesmith has been joined by Texas-born, multi-instrumentalist, Tif Ginn, who also happens to be his wife. Together they have developed a musical symbiosis that only comes from countless miles, shared stages and an undenyable chemistry. And now with the addition of their band, which includes their 16 year old, 30 year old songs land like fresh revelations and new tunes take shape in real time.Eaglesmith carries the weight of a legend lightly. After a lifetime of touring and 25 albums under his belt he’d have every right to rest on his laurels. Instead, he’s doing what he’s always done: pointing the truck toward Canada’s backroads, where the next great night of music waits to be sparked. His signature sound of country soul & rock energy with his between-song tales only he can tell- equally hilarious & heartbreaking, make the Fred Eaglesmith Show unmatched. Fred doesn’t just perform in these small towns, he plugs into their heartbeat-after all these years, that’s still his superpower. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/urbana/fred-eaglesmith-matinee-|the-whip-30th-anniversary-series/100001983124339283 - **Event Categories**: Art, Entertainment, Music, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 54.68, max: 59.94, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Urbana - **state**: IL - **country**: United States - **location**: Rose Bowl Tavern - **lat**: 40.1128733 - **long**: -88.20872039999999 - **full address**: Rose Bowl Tavern, 106 North Race Street, Urbana, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Fred Eaglesmith *Matinee* |The WHIP 30th Anniversary Series - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/ebb15a86f0468c92068d40cedee035cf69c171c0485f934101717993cd5244f1-rimg-w1200-h1594-dc17151a-gmir.jpg?v=1771354782 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Fred Eaglesmith *Matinee* |The WHIP 30th Anniversary Series being held? - **A:** Fred Eaglesmith *Matinee* |The WHIP 30th Anniversary Series takes place on Sat, 02 May, 2026 at 03:00 pm to Sat, 02 May, 2026 at 05:00 pm at Rose Bowl Tavern, 106 North Race Street, Urbana, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Fred Eaglesmith *Matinee* |The WHIP 30th Anniversary Series? - **A:** Fred Eaglesmith *Matinee* |The WHIP 30th Anniversary Series is organized by Rose Bowl Tavern. - **Q**: What has been the experience of attendees at Rose Bowl Tavern's events? - **A:** Attendees have given Rose Bowl Tavern a rating of 5/5 based on reviews from early attendees on AllEvents.
