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.
Hey all, We were super psyched when "Bigger than Luck" debuted at #8 on the National folk/roots/blues charts for campus/community radio. We are more excited that it moved up to the #2 spot this week on Earshot.
Thanks to everyone for listening, and to all the programmers for supporting the new material! Here's to number one next week!
Hello all, We are really excited to announce the release of our new EP "Bigger than Luck" on Light Organ Records. A precursor to a full-length album due this fall, this 4 song EP was produced by John Critchley (Elliot BROOD, Dan Mangan, Amelia Curran), and features some of our favourite musicians: Brandy Zdan (vocals), Sly Juhas (drums), Brian Kobayakawa (bass), Sahra Featherstone (violin), Chris Quinn (banjo), and Steve Charles (so many instruments!)

The EP comes out next week! Along with the official video for "Bigger than Luck". Hold on to your socks!
