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.
We are very honoured to have been nominated for two Canadian Folk Music Awards for our latest album, Trench Songs. We are up for Ensemble of the Year and Vocal Group of the Year (amongst some tremendous Canadian talent!). We are very honoured.
