THE FRETLESS

Four ferocious players, masterful composition, and a genre-bending sound — Juno award-winning The Fretless is a Canadian quartet making its mark in progressive folk music.

A supergroup of celebrated solo artists, The Fretless has been creating a singular and signature sound that expands the idea of what a string music quartet can be — transforming fiddle tunes and folk melodies into intricate, beautiful, high-energy arrangements. With a simple and classical construct — two fiddles, a viola, and a cello — The Fretless offers a sound that is distinctly rich, multi-layered, and uniquely percussive, pushing traditional music to fresh new heights.
