Sylvester Manor brings Canada's THE FRETLESS to the historic Manor House music room for two acoustic shows that will get your Irish up in time for St. Patrick’s Day! The Fretless is a Canadian fiddle foursome playing an essential part in the emerging movement mainstreaming traditional Irish folk music.

"It’s a string quartet that plays fiddle tunes – or maybe it’s fiddle tunes on baroque steroids! Whatever you call it, these fiddles of all sizes are giving a wholly different voice to age old tunes." - Elizabeth Szekeres, Roots Music Canada

This fiddle foursome harbors all the energy of fiddle tunes while shattering all expectations in writing, creativity and performance. Starting with its debut album in 2012, the band has steadily pushed further into the public eye, winning Instrumental Album of the Year at the Western Canadian Music Awards and Instrumental Group of the Year at the Canadian Folk Music Awards. Its 2014 tune “Waiving To Ryan” has topped 1.5 million Spotify plays. In 2017, The Fretless took home the Juno™ award for Instrumental Album of The Year for its most recent full-length Bird’s Nest and in 2019 a Juno nomination for it's follow up Live From the Ant Farm.

Live From The Artfarm is a joyous recording that shows off why traditional folk music is finding an audience among the non-traditional, and also why The Fretless is leading the charge.
