Following their show at Topolski Bar, London last week and ahead of their slot at this year’s Glastonbury festival, Canadian indie-folk multi-instrumentalists The Fugitives have announced a second London date on their current UK tour. They will perform at the Nest Collective night at Old Queen’s Head, London on Wednesday 25th June. All forthcoming dates below:

The Fugitives new album Everything Will Happen is released via Light Organ Records on the 23rd June (digitally) with the physical release following on the 14th July (please note the physical release date has been amended from the 30th June).  Previously released tracks from the album have garnered media praise, with For Folks Sake describing Ring as “one of the more gently stunning tracks we’ve heard in a while”, while Noisey premiered the video for Wilderness Years describing it as: “Music that wouldn’t be out of place at a campfire or on the soundtrack of a blockbuster romantic comedy staring Oliver Wilde”.

The Fugitives Announce London Date ahead of Glastonbury Appearance

Award-winning Canadian indie-folk duo The Fugitives have released the brand new Sliding Doors-esque video to Wilderness Years. The song is the second teaser to be taken from the forthcoming album Everything Will Happen, following the release of the single Ring, which For Folks Sake described as “one of the more gently stunning tracks we’ve heard in a while”. 

The Fugitives were once described by a local Vancouver publication as “the missing link between Leonard Cohen and the Pogues”.  Their debut In Streetlight Communion (2007)  was nominated for a ‘Pushing the Boundaries’ of contemporary roots music at  the Canadian Folk Music Award. The follow up long-player, Eccentrically We Love (2010) was hailed by Canada’s media as “eclectic and exciting” - See, “poignant” - Uptown and “infectious” - CBC. More recently, (Summer 2013),  The Fugitives four-track Bigger Than Luck EP charted internationally on CMJ and rode the !earshot national folk charts for eight solid weeks. 

Now the duo release their third album Everything Will Happen on 30th June via Canadian label Light Organ Records.  The album includes collaborations from a range of musicians, spanning  genres from bluegrass through to jazz and including violin looping prodigy Hannah Epperson, multi-instrumentalist Steve Charles and actor Benjamin Elliot. While production cames from John Critchley (Dan Mangan, Elliot BROOD, Amelia Curran). 

The Fugitives have played diverse shows such as Vienna Literary Festival, Winnipeg Fringe Theatre Festival and Vancouver Jazz Festival while also remaining regulars on the Canadian folk festival circuit.   This summer they play a number of UK dates including a slot at Glastonbury Festival and the nearly announced London show at Topolski gallery and bar on 17th June.
