The Fugitives are an acoustic folk-roots group headed by songwriters Adrian Glynn and Brendan McLeod.

Over their first five albums, they’ve amassed a JUNO nomination, and 6 CFMA nominations, and toured extensively through Canada, Europe, and the UK.
Performance highlights include major Canadian folk festivals, a Glastonbury performance, and a tour supporting Buffy Sainte-Marie. In 2020, the band created RIDGE, a WW1-centered theatre show. Ridge has been performed at theatres across Canada and was named a Globe & Mail Top Arts Pick of the Year.
The band has earned a reputation for unforgettable live shows, brimming with complex harmonies that are infectious.
Shari Ulrich
Saturday, Nov 4th, 7:00 p.m.
Studio Theatre Perth, 63 Gore St E, Perth
An accomplished and dynamic performer, Shari makes any sized audience feel they are in her living room – drawn in by her insightful lyrics, and her engaging warmth and humour. This will be a special night with Shari for an intimate solo performance at Studio Theatre Perth.
Originally a California girl, Shari Ulrich settled on the west coast of Canada in 1970 and soon launched her life in music first as a singer and multi-instrumentalist (violin, mandolin, piano, guitar, dulcimer) and in time as a songwriter. From her time with the legendary Pied Pumpkin to The Hometown Band, and on as a solo artist, her career has resulted in 25 albums to date, including collaborations with Bill Henderson and Roy Forbes (UHF), Barney Bentall and Tom Taylor (BTU), and more recently The High Bar Gang. Along the way, she has garnered 2 JUNO awards and several nominations, an induction into the BC Entertainment Hall of Fame, and a 2014 Canadian Folk Music Award for English Songwriter of the Year.
Christmas with Heather Rankin & Sam Stone in Perth
Sunday, Dec 03, 7:30 p.m.
Studio Theatre Perth, 63 Gore St E, Perth
Heather Rankin follows her 2016 Juno Award Nominated solo album, A Fine Line, with a Christmas album, Imagine. Her angelic voice wraps her listeners in coziness and nostalgia in this ten-song collection, which includes both original songs, co-written by Rankin, and traditional songs she grew up singing at Christmas. The evocative imagery in Rankin’s contemplative lyrics inhabits the same deeply personal world Rankin created in A Fine Line, while songs like “Wrap it Up” harken back with frivolity to the music she created with her siblings as The Rankin Family.
Imagine begins in contemplation of Christmas Past with Rankin’s soaring rendition of “Once in Royal David’s City,” a song that conjures memories for her of the traditional carols that were sung during the Midnight Masses of her childhood. She also lends her ethereal voice to a definitive rendition of “Silent Night,” a song she remembers being sung with verses in six different languages at St. Mary’s Parish in Mabou, Nova Scotia.
Sam Stone is a singer/songwriter born and raised in small-town Canada, just outside of Ottawa. Sam has been writing and performing since the age of twelve. Her powerhouse, soulful vocals and seasoned stage presence are in high demand performing with bands in venues and festivals locally but also across Canada and internationally while also being a session vocalist. Sam is finally emerging as a solo artist starting off with the release of her first live session single, “Wanna Be.”
