The Fretless guest on The Stew.
Karrnnel Sawitsky and Trent Freeman -
one-half of The Fretless join us.
Saturday in the first hour.
Saturday in the first hour.
Their album - Glass Wing is
brilliant. With 3 songs cowritten and sung
by Madeleine Roger.
Classically trained, raised on rock, jazz, blues, folk and
heritage roots, they take all those influences and combine them
into a sound unlike any other
group.
They take 100 year old shanty's and reshape the song without
losing the original melody so it can last another 100 years.
In Glass Wing, they write all their own tunes. Three
co-written with Madeleine Roger.
There is such joy in hearing violins, violas and cellos
driving the beat where normally the drums and bass would be.
Impressive my friends. Very impressive.
Have a listen to Pipe
Dreams!
The Queen Nancy - named after a car and a
make-believe BC Ferry.
Icarus - a Madeleine beauty
Or the lead track Lost Lake.
This marks a new chapter The Fretless. With Lights,
sound and stage design created especially for this album, these
songs and this tour.
