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.
Thanks to the Vancouver Province for making us their cd of the week! "The Fugitives' songs have drama, a discernible joy... and an undercurrent of what could be called elegance... An album of whirling colour and changing shapes."
Tour is under way y'all! Tonight: songwriting clinic at 4pm in London, followed by a show at the APK at 9pm. See you shortly!

Our Canadian tour with White Ash Falls kicks off in earnest today. We're visiting every city from Halifax-Vancouver and many smaller centres in between. Come see us! We're looking forward to this new adventure so much. See you shortly!
Hey all, Some more great reviews are coming in for the new album, including these nice things:
"Everything Will Happen is a beautifully crafted record that makes you smile and then miss everyone you’ve ever met." - The Fulcrum
"Smart songwriting, stellar musicians and top flight production create a sensational product...Highlights among the tracks are the delightful sing along two beat stomp ”Bigger Than Luck,” that features a great little banjo solo, and playful out of tune piano. The easy Celtic waltz of the title track mixes new world wisdom and old country common sense. The haunting poetry of “My My,” with its tight droning vocal harmonies gives you chills with every listen." - No Depression Americana
Just a reminder you can stream the album for free right now at Exclaim! who says "There's alot to love, and that becomes clear from the get go on 'Everything Will Happen.'"
