The Fretless
Thursday, January 22 - 7:30PM

The Fretless is taking roots music to new heights with their highly anticipated sixth album, Glasswing, a deep immersion into their musical minds, soaring through a decade-long journey of developing their singular sound.

This award-winning Canadian foursome has firmly established itself on the international music scene with prolific playing, masterful compositions, iconic collaborations, and electrifying live shows. The Fretless has expanded the idea of what a string quartet can be, transforming fiddle tunes and folk melodies into intricate, high-energy arrangements. Their ensemble of two fiddles, a viola, and a cello produces a rich, multi-layered, and distinctive percussive sound that redefines contemporary folk music.
