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.

NEW A CAPELLA SONG + VIDEO

October 29, 2020 / fugitives

This is an a capella tune we wrote using lyrics from a 19th-Century soldier's song by W.F. Thompson. It's the first single off our forthcoming album, 'Trench Songs', out November 10th.

Why does it look so fricking pro? Because it's part of a larger filmed theatre piece called 'Ridge', written by our own Brendan McLeod, produced by the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts, directed by Mike Southworth with cinematography by Byron Kopman.

'Ridge' will have two live in-person screenings at the Pacific Cinematheque on Nov 7th and then will be available to stream online at the Chan's website after that, details here: https://chancentre.com/events/ridge/
