SPOKEN WORD/MUSIC: The Fugitives

Thursday, January 11th
Rime (1130 Commercial Drive), 9:30PM

"The New Art of Poetry Clubbing" - Literhaus, Denmark

Vancouverites Barbara Adler, Mark Berube, and Brendan McLeod (see the "Spit It Out Sunday's Posting) are singer-songwriters, multi-instrumentalists, and award winning performance poets who have merged their diverse styles into one distinct mixture of poetry and song, backed by accordion, guitar, piano, banjo, and melodica. A group of road dogs, they have toured their unique combination of three part harmony, athletic performance poetry, and skillful musicianship, four times through Europe and twice through Canada since the group's inception two years ago.

"The Fugitives are one of the most innovative, exciting, and accomplished groups of musicians and poets I have ever seen...the best show in fifteen years of the festival" - Off the Shelf Festival, Sheffield (UK).
