Attention all Fred heads!!! One Night Only!!!
FRED EAGLESMITH NOMINATED FOR JUNO AWARD FOR TINDERBOX
Critically Heralded Album Up for Roots & Traditional Album of the Year: Solo
(Los Angeles) Acclaimed and award-winning singer-songwriter Fred Eaglesmith has been nominated for yet another honor in his distinguished nearly-four decade recording career: a Juno Award — the Canadian equivalent of a Grammy — for Roots & Traditional Album of the Year: Solo for his 17th album, Tinderbox. The nomination is Eaglesmith's third time up for a prestigious Juno, which he won in 1997 in the same category for his album Drive-In Movie.
Tinderbox continues to garner critical praise since it was released in May of last year, and was cited on a number of year-end Top 10 lists. San Jose Metro recently hailed it as "one of the best albums of last year." And the Santa Barbara News Press just named it as "one of the more intriguing albums of the last year… with its hypnotic array of swampy grooves, obsessive refrains, hymns and hollers."
The CD has been described as an "alternative gospel" album, but Eaglesmith points out that "it's not a gospel record. This is actually tearing the whole thing [religion] apart and having a look at every bit of it. I was raised in a religious background and we weren't allowed to question. This album asks every question."
The Santa Barbara News Press says that Tinderbox sounds "like a field recording from the alternative world of rural Pentecostalism mixed with the artful theatricality and gruff timbres of Tom Waits." Metro describes it as "Something on the order of Eaglesmith jamming with Tom Waits on a 1930s chain gang full of bluesmen, it's spooky and dark, with a hint of the metaphysical."
Tinderbox has already been heralded as a "masterwork" (Philadelphia Inquirer), "exceptional" (Americana Roots), and "beautiful" (Ink 19). The New Yorker says, "Imagine a duet record from Tom Waits and Woody Guthrie," declaring, "if you're missing out on Eaglesmith… you're really missing out."

Shari Lynn as Sharia Twain!! June 10 & 11 2009
Born in Canada, Shari Lynn grew up listening to many different styles of music. "I've listened to it all! I grew up in a small town outside of Barrie, Ontario and my passions were music, horses and playing cards. They still are today!"
Over the years, Shari was able to develop herself as a performer having started out in a tribute band traveling and performing across Canada and the USA at casinos, bars as well as headlining fairs and festivals of up to 32,000 people. "It was a great learning experience and a stepping stone for who I am today."
With her success as a tribute artist, Shari was hired by Corus Entertainment and interviewed by CMT Canada and Country 95.3. In 2003, she was asked to join Shania Twain on stage at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto by Twain herself. She was later asked by CTV to be a special guest on Canada AM with Shania Twain co-hosting the show. "In June of 2006, I was called by one of my agents to play a date in Gogama ON just outside of Timmins." Shari recalls, "It was a big compliment as a performer to learn that this was to perform for Shania's family and friends at the place where she grew up. I was later told by the Chief of the reserve, Willis, of Mattagami First Nations, who is also her cousin that I was recommended by Shania herself, for which was a great honour."
