The Fretless - With new album Glass Wing

The Fretless guest on The Stew. Karrnnel Sawitsky and Trent Freeman - one-half of The Fretless join us. 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. The Fretless Tour
