Eccentrically We Love - Reviews from Edmonton

Hey everyone, The Fugitives have had a great fringe run here in Edmonton, garnering 4 star reviews from every major publication. Here’s a bit of what’s been said:

“The four part vocals are sensational…each of these Fugitives has the talent, voice and charisma to front their own band.” – Edmonton Sun, 4 stars

“A genial, dapper young bunch, breezy with the banter, they’re tremendously easy on the ears…see them, hear them.” – Edmonton Journal, 4 stars

“A sold-out crowd was fed harmonious chants and folksy carols…the music had us glued to our seats” – SEE Magazine, 4 stars

“No one word really captures everything the members can do” – Vue Magazine, 4 stars

The Fugitives at the Edmonton Fringe Festival!

Straight off a killer run at the Winnipge Fringe, The Fugitives rock into Edmonton with a show EVERY DAY for the length of the Fringe. Playing EVERY DAY (August 13-22) at 5:00PM At B Scene Studio, right in the heart of the Fringe. It's at: 8212- 104 Street Northwest

"An eclectic and exciting sound that defies genres….there’s something new on every track." - See Magazine ... “Despite their all-acoustic lineup, the Fugitives bring enough energy to the stage to light up a small city… the East Van quartet conjures up a sound that’s like the missing link between Leonard Cohen, the Pogues, and the immortal Shorty Shitstain.” – Georgia Straight

“Have you ever been mesmerized by a band in ten seconds? This is what happens with The Fugitives. Three words define the group: talent, passion and humor… The show is brilliant, inspiring and hilarious. In a nutshell, entertainment at its finest.” – Winnipeg Examiner
