Dobb, Moranz and Fremlin: Jan 30th

Dobb, Moranz and Fremlin is a double blend of talent comprised of Highlands resident Allen Dobb who has been called “one of the finest and most literate tunesmiths in this country” (Edmonton Journal), and the duo of Moranz and Fremlin, a Canadian bluegrass duo comprised of multi-instrumentalist Ryland Moranz and mandolin aficionado Dan Fremlin. Together they blend Canadian-style Americana with bluegrass for a unique and soulful sound. 

Steeped in rural roots growing up on a farm in northwestern Alberta near the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, Dobb’s material is inspired by stories, landscapes, and characters he has encountered working as a range management specialist in the B.C. Interior.

Alberta based Ryland Moranz is an internationally touring singer-songwriter and member of Leeroy Stagger’s potent alt-country outfit, the Rebeltone Sound. When he’s not touring, Ryland is a visual artist, session musician, audio engineer, digital audio researcher and experienced tour manager.

Hailing from BC’s central Cariboo region, Dan Fremlin is an accomplished bluegrass mandolin player and songwriter who performs as an integral member of the Blue Wranglers as well as Barney Bentall’s Caribou Express.
