The Fugitives, established in 2007, have released four records, which have been nominated for multiple Canadian Folk Music Awards and a Western Canadian Music Award. Their previous album, Everything Will Happen, spent ten weeks on the top ten Canadian folk charts, and earned them a support slot across Western Canada with Buffy Sainte-Marie and an appearance at UK’s Glastonbury Festival. Their follow-up, The Promise of Strangers, is set for release on January 26th on Borealis Records.
"I promise to stop shouting "for fucks sake Canada, can't you think up original place names?" everytime I see a fugitives gig in an "English" town, only to find out it is actually 5,000 miles away!! (halifax, peterbrough, london etc...)"
