A Canadian folk staple, The Fugitives were formed in 2005 and have released 6 albums. They’ve been nominated for a JUNO, 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 most major folk festivals across the country. They were a 2020 Globe & Mail “Top Arts Pick of the Year”, and have earned a reputation for unforgettable live shows, brimming with complex harmonies, infectious storytelling and top-notch musicianship. As the CBC has it: “This show is simply brilliant.” They will be touring in support of their newest album, due in spring 2026.
“The four part vocals are sensational…each of these Fugitives has the talent, voice and charisma to front their own band.” — Edmonton Sun
