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
