The Fugitives	03/11/2010 09:00 - 03/12/2010 11:30
March 11th & 12th at 9pm Vancity Culture Lab The Fugitives are the combined talents of Vancouver artists Adrian Glynn, Barbara Adler, Brendan McLeod, and Steve Charles. A group of multi-instrumentalists, songwriters, poets and novelists, each with their own burgeoning solo career, they’ve won individual accolades as diverse as the Canadian SLAM poetry championship, CBC poet laureate, and a place in the Peak performance songwriting series. But their primary focus lies in banding together to integrate their sensibilities into a dynamic mix of modern folk. Formed four years ago on Vancouver’s East Side, The Fugitives have trod their instruments and words numerous times through Canada and Europe. Performances that began in abandoned bank vaults and small vegetarian restaurants in England have turned into main stage appearances on the Canadian folk festival circuit and sold out headlining shows at venues as diverse as the Vienna Literary Festival, the Winnipeg Fringe Festival, the Vancouver Jazz Festival, and the Chutzpah Dance Festival. Like most young bands The Fugitives have weathered poverty, missed trains and a few lineup changes (parting amicably with upcoming folk talents Mark Berube and CR Avery), while honing their live act into a versatile mix of story and song. As the CBC has it, “whether you go for the poetry, the music, or both, this show is simply brilliant.” They will be previewing songs from their upcoming album, Eccentrically We Love, due out March 23. www.brendanmcleod.ca www.fugitives.ca Ticket Prices: $15 (general) To purchase tickets or for ticketing queries call The Cultch Box Office at 604.251.1363. or purchase online at http://tickets.thecultch.com
