Mackie Lake House presents steadfast Canadiana bluegrass duo Moranz & Fremlin in a live, outdoor concert on the shores of Kalamalka Lake.
Like a summer wind’s last ride through fall's first turn, Moranz & Fremlin are harbingers of a time on the verge. A dynamic Canadiana and bluegrass duo, multi-instrumentalist Ryland Moranz and mandolin aficionado Dan Fremlin champion the love and spirit of a disappearing art. Evoking a simpler ethos of string and timber; smoke and dew, joy, sorrow and the remembrance of all we hold most dear.
Ryland Moranz is an internationally touring singer-songwriter whose 2021 album XO, 1945 was nominated for Canadian folk music associations contemporary album of the year. In his spare time Ryland plays with Leeroy Stagger, Barney Bentall, John Wort Hannam, JJ Shiplett and more.
Dan Fremlin is an internationally acclaimed bluegrass mandolinist and songwriter from the Meadows, British Columbia. An integral member of the Blue Wranglers as well as a cherished collaborator with songwriter Allen Dobb and Barney Bentall’s Cariboo Express, Dan has the pedigree of one of Canada’s finest bluegrass pickers. Any time you hear outstanding mandolin, there’s a one in three chance that it’s Dan.
Formed in 2023, Moranz & Fremlin’s debut album “Williwaw” is a collection of original and traditional songs and instrumentals scheduled to be released in Jan 2026 on Tonic Records.
