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 made a tour video! This is our first one ever. Shot on our Eastern Canada "Promise of Strangers" tour in January 2018 this features rare behind-the-scenes footage of us doing all the drugs and getting thrown off-stage by the Detroit Police Department. (Wait, that was Straight Outta Compton). This is mostly us being idiots and looking really tired. The folk'n'roll lifestyle!
We are finally hitting Western Canada with the new record. Come check us out from BC to Manitoba in late April and early May!
We are so happy to announce that our new record, "The Promise of Strangers", is officially out in Canada today. On our homepage is a link where you can buy/stream it and it's also on Spotify/iTunes Canada. This record is an album of dedications, as you can see from the track listing, but it couldn't have been done without the time and talents of many of our musical friends, especially producer John Raham.
