RIDGE – storytelling show centred on the Battle of Vimy Ridge

November 5, 2022 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm

By Brendan McLeod with The Fugitives

$40.00 Adult
$37.00 Senior
$35.00 Student

A visceral music storytelling show centred on the Battle of Vimy Ridge that probes difficult yet necessary questions about how and why we grieve. Featuring inventive musical interpretations of WWI soldier songs – which were recognized with the 2022 JUNO nomination for Best Traditional Roots Album – Ridge is a vivid, kinetic ride through history, as well as an intimate, personal examination of our connection to the past that passionately argues against the exploitation of young lives.

“The four part vocals are sensational…each of [the] Fugitives has the talent, voice and charisma to front their own band.”— Edmonton Sun

“The Fugitives bring enough energy to the stage to light up a small city… The East Van quartet conjures up a sound that’s like the missing link between Leonard Cohen, the Pogues, and the immortal Shorty Shitstain.”— Georgia Straight
