The Fretless featuring Madeleine Rogers will be live at Duke's August 22nd. Advance tickets highly recommended, space is limited.
Four ferocious players, masterful composition, and a genre-bending sound—Juno award-winning The Fretless is a Canadian quartet that has firmly taken its place on the map to a progressive form of “trad”.
A supergroup of celebrated solo artists, The Fretless has been creating a singular and signature sound that dares to expand the idea of what a string music quartet can be—transforming fiddle tunes and folk melodies into intricate, beautiful, high-energy arrangements that have quickly gained a dedicated following and accolades from around the world. Within what appears to be a simple construct — two fiddles, a viola, and a cello — The Fretless has created a sound that is distinctly rich, multi-layered, and uniquely percussive. This tonal quality is pushing traditional music to new heights, producing a completely fresh approach to Folk music.
The Fretless are just as likely to perform at a concert hall (most recently, halls such as the Royal Glasgow Concert hall in Scotland, The Colon Philharmonie in Germany, or the National Arts Centre in Ottawa) as a folk festival (such as Vancouver Island Folk Fest, Winnipeg Folk Fest, Memoirs et Racines). They can be found playing a pub one day and a chamber music festival the next; collaborating with a world-class vocalist (The Wailin’ Jenny’s, William Prince, Lennie Gallant) the weekend before a bluegrass festival.
Madeleine Roger is a singer-songwriter from Winnipeg, Canada. While skillfully accompanying herself on acoustic guitar, it is her artistry as a songwriter that can silence a room, uniting her lyrical prowess with breathtaking melodies that linger long after they are sung.
Madeleine Roger will be joining The Fretless for this unforgettable string and vocal concert overlooking the water at Duke's.
Doors open at 7pm, music starts at 8pm.
Parking is available behind Duke's, along James Bartleman Way and along the main road in town.
