Chinook Musical Society presents JUNO-nominated acoustic folk-roots group The Fugitives, with The Charms.
Hailing from Vancouver, The Fugitives are headed by songwriters Adrian Glynn and Brendan McLeod, joined by banjo player Chris Suen (Viper Central) and violinist Carly Frey (The Coal Porters). With their first 5 albums they collected numerous Canadian Folk Music Awards, Western Canadian Music Awards and a Juno nomination, and have toured extensively through Canada, Europe and the UK.
In 2020, they created “Ridge”, a WW1-centered theatre show, which was named a Globe & Mail “Top Arts Pick of the Year” and has toured to over 30 theatres across Canada, including this past November at Lunchbox Theatre.
The band has earned a reputation for unforgettable live shows brimming with complex harmonies, infectious storytelling and top-notch musicianship.
