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 top-10 placing 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 4 years ago on Vancouver’s East Side, The Fugitives have trod their instruments and words numerous times through Canada and Europe.

In late 2009, The Fugitives followed up on their Canadian Folk Music Award nominated debut album, In Streetlight Communion, with the release of a short EP called Find Me. Praised for its “tight, note-perfect harmonies” (Spinner), and “great storytelling and lyrical ability” (Discorder), Find Me has built anticipation for the band’s full length release, due out in March, and distributed by Universal Records. Featuring orchestration by Veda Hille and production by Matthew Rogers, Eccentrically We Love will be supported this April by a tour across the country.
