The Fretless perform as part of the Hornby concert series at Hornby Hall on November 28, 2014.

The Fretless brings a new approach to folk music that is quickly gaining high acclaim around the world. This unique band is taking string music to fascinating places as it transforms fiddle tunes and folk melodies into intricate, beautiful, high-energy arrangements. With the release of their debut album Waterbound in early 2012, featuring collaborations with singers Ruth Moody and Norah Rendell, the quartet grabbed the attention of critics and fans across many genres. This recording fueled a busy summer of festivals across Canada, a month-long tour of Germany in the fall, and worldwide sales and radio play. The year was capped with 3 awards, bringing the album�and the band�further into the public eye: The Fretless took Instrumental Album of the Year at the Western Canadian Music Awards, and at the Canadian Folk Music Awards, they walked away with both Ensemble of the Year, and Instrumental Group of the Year. The Fretless is an innovation in music that must be heard. They harbor all the energy of fiddle tunes, while shattering all expectations in writing, creativity and performance.
