About this Event
The FUGITIVES are hitting The George for an epic live show!
A Canadian folk music staple, The Fugitives were formed in 2005 and have released seven albums. They’ve been nominated for a JUNO (Canadian Grammy), as well as 7 Canadian Folk Music Awards, including Best Vocal Group, Best Ensemble, and Best Songwriter. Having toured heavily across Canada, the UK, and the EU for two decades, they’ve been awarded the Best Folk Album of the Year by the German Music Critics’ Association, performed at Glastonbury, and many major folk festivals across Canada and Europe.
This summer they are bringing their brand new self-titled album to the UK for two weeks – band leaders Brendan McLeod and Adrian Glynn * will be joined by Marlene Ginader on violin and Britain’s own Dan Walsh on banjo.
The Fugitives have earned a reputation for unforgettable live shows, brimming with complex harmonies, infectious storytelling and top-notch musicianship, so expect this to be one of West London’s gigs of the year.
“This is classic songwriting with a conscience.” – Americana UK, England.
“The four-part vocals are sensational…each of these Fugitives has the talent, voice and charisma to front their own band.” — Edmonton Sun
“Despite their all-acoustic lineup, the Fugitives bring enough energy to the stage to light up a small city… The East Van quartet conjures up a sound that’s like the missing link between Leonard Cohen and the Pogues.” — Georgia Straight
