Description

Double Bill – Moranz and Fremlin, and the Allen Dobb Trio. A dynamic Canadiana and bluegrass duo & one of the finest and most literate tunesmiths in this country!

Like a summer wind’s last ride through falls 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 to 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, the Lucky Ones, John Wort Hannam, Allen Dobb 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.

Allen Dobb is a Canadian singer-songwriter whose music blends country, folk, and roots traditions with a modern, literate edge. Praised by the Edmonton Journal as “one of the finest and most literate tunesmiths in this country,” Dobb crafts songs that resonate with authenticity and a deep sense of place.

Dobb has performed at major folk festivals including Edmonton, Winnipeg, Mariposa, and Bumbershoot, and toured the U.K. His albums—Horses and Hills, Bottomland, Rosetown, and Alone Together—have earned praise for their depth and authenticity. Americana Highways calls his songs “heart searching and touching, strong and vibrant.”

His latest release, The Afterlife Sessions (2026), recorded live at Vancouver’s Afterlife Studios, is an all-acoustic project featuring Dan Fremlin (mandolin), Ryland Moranz (banjo, guitar), Rob Becker (upright bass), and Trent Freeman (fiddle). “In a time when everyone is talking about AI in music, this project couldn’t be further away from that,” says Dobb. “We just put up the microphones and played.”
