Recently, Mike Zinger, member of Fred Eaglesmith Travelling Steam Show stopped in with a poster for Fred’s “ANNUAL WINTER WEEKEND” at the Lighthouse Theatre in Port Dover on Dec. 20, 21 7 22.
Mike was kind enough to leave us a 2nd poster to auction off for charity. Fred and his band raise money EVERY concert for Operation Smile by having pie auctions. Yup you read right - pie auction! You would not believe how much money has been raised by the band for the worthwhile cause of helping pay for necessary dental surgery on disadvantage children in impoverished countries. CLICK HERE for info on Operation Smile. We are now taking bids for this silent auction. Call 519-332-0978, email [email protected] or stop in to make your bid.
Besides touring almost none stop, Fred and his band of merry musians, host several festivals in his home area of Port Dover, including a summer Picnic and this Winter Weekend. We are big fans of Fred Eaglesmith over the decades, but do not feel we can call ourselves true ‘Fred Heads’ since we have only seen him play live 3 times, but we do own almost every CD.
The newest release is called Tambourine. It is another amazing addition to our personal collection. Pick up yours when you stop into Cheeky Monkey to make your bid on the poster.
