The Fretless folk music group will be in concert in Williams Lake, Saturday, Feb. 22.

The Fretless is a new approach to folk music that is quickly gaining high acclaim around the world.

This unique band is taking string music to fascinating places as it transforms fiddle tunes and folk melodies into intricate, beautiful, high-energy arrangements.

With the release of their debut album Waterbound in early 2012, which features their fresh styles, compositions, as well as collaborations with singers Ruth Moody and Norah Rendell, the quartet grabbed the attention of critics and fans across many genres.

The Fretless concert is presented by Cariboo Chilcotin Youth Fiddle Society whose members will be participating in a two-day workshop with The Fretless on February 21 and 22.

The Fretless concert takes place at St. Andrew’s United Church starting at 7 p.m. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are available at The Open Book and Cariboo GM.
