Thread Name: Fred J Eaglesmith Picnic
Subject: Fred J Eaglesmith Picnic
For anyone interested in Fred Eaglesmith music, Fred hosts a weekend long picnic at a conservation area near Port Dover. Various performers are on stage from about 11:00am to 11:00pm, then the jamming starts, and runs into the wee hours. Camping is available on site. The performers this year included; Fred himself, Willy P Bennett, Washboard Hank, Wado Texas, Grievous Angles, Luther Wright & the Wrongs, and The Cruzeros. The latter is a bluegrass band who drove all the way from Kamloops B.C.! They really impressed me, with their harmonies, and mostly original material. I would be interested in hearing from anyone else who may have attended this year, or previous years.
