Rosebud Open-Air Festival

3 Great Bands for One Low Price! August 16, 2026

Rosebud Festival Stage (immediately west of the Rosebud Opera House) Enjoy a gorgeous summer’s day full of great music and delicious food, featuring Juno Award winning poet of rural Canada, and the guy whose music is featured in our Fall production of Dear Johnny Deere, Fred Eaglesmith. ‍ Bring your lawn chair, a hat, and sit back and enjoy some fabulous music in the Rosebud valley, featuring: - Delicious take-away food available at the Mercantile - Beer tent featuring local breweries - Food Truck This is an all ages and all-weather event.

Fred Eaglesmith has played them all; from television’s The Late Show with David Letterman to the legendary Grand Ole Opry in Nashville to the refined acoustics of the Lincoln Center, but this summer, Canada’s most uncompromising troubadour brings his whip-smart songwriting and road-tested show back to the very communities that inspired him. And you won’t want to miss it.

Fred has spent four decades turning service station stories, county fair romances, broken down old tractors, and gravel roads into timeless songs. 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. 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 undeniable chemistry.

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.
