The Fables

The Fables are a celebrated folk band hailing from the rugged and culturally rich landscapes of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Formed in the late 1990s, they quickly rose to prominence with their infectious blend of traditional Irish music, Newfoundland folk, and rollicking East Coast sounds. Featuring the talents of musicians such as frontman Glenn Simmons, they've crafted a unique sound that resonates with the heartstrings of maritime storytelling and the deep-seated Celtic roots of their homeland.

Their music, characterized by hearty vocals, spirited fiddling, and a strong rhythmic backbone, has resonated well with audiences both on the island and across Canada. With albums like "St. John's," The Fables salute their hometown, encapsulating the spirit and culture of their native city, while "A Time" showcases their ability to reflect on the more introspective aspects of life and time. "Tear the House Down" is perhaps an exemplar of their lively performances, filled with energy that has the power to engage listeners in foot-stomping revelry and soulful reflection alike. Over the years, The Fables have solidified their status as a cornerstone of Canadian folk music, enchanting fans with their down-to-earth charm and dynamic stage presence.
