A Canadian folk staple, The Fugitives last played GTSF in 2024 and we're lucky enough to have them back. They were formed in 2005 and have released seven albums. They’ve been nominated for a JUNO, as well as 7 Canadian Folk Music Awards, including Best Vocal Group, Best Ensemble, and Best Songwriter.

 

Having toured heavily across Canada, the UK, and the EU for two decades, they’ve been awarded the Best Folk Album of the Year by the German Music Critics’ Association, performed at Glastonbury, and most major folk festivals across the country.

 

They were a 2020 Globe & Mail “Top Arts Pick of the Year”, and have earned a reputation for unforgettable live shows, brimming with complex harmonies, infectious storytelling and top-notch musicianship.
