The Fretless
Sunday February 15th 8pm
St. James Hall (3214 West 10th Avenue)
Winners of the Canadian Folk Music Award for Instrumental Band of 2014, The Fretless return to the Rogue almost exactly 12 months since their last show here: a sold out show with Cara Luft. This time we don't know who will be their guest singer(s) but we guarantee an evening of scintillating fiddle / viola / cello music. Ivonne Hernandez, Karnnell Sawitsky, and Trent Freeman are three fiddlers / violists from western Canada, and American Eric Wrightcompletes the classic string quartet line-up on cello. Using this format they have made their own unique arrangements of tunes from Cape Breton, Scotland and Ireland, fused them with their own compositions and made friends across the world with their fabulous sound! If you saw them last time you know how good they are! If you missed them, but enjoyed the Alasdair Fraser & Natalie Haasshow last month, then you'll love this show too. Imagine three Alasdair's, layering their sound and adding counterpoint and harmony to Natalie's driving cello and you begin to get the idea! Tickets are selling fast, and last year (also on a Sunday) almost half the audience paid at the door, so we expect another big crowd of Celtic music enthusiasts - and there will be more room for dancing than at tonight's Vent du Nord show!
