Like a summer wind’s last ride through fall’s first turn, Moranz & Fremlin stand at the edge of tradition and time. This Canadiana and bluegrass duo—multi-instrumentalist Ryland Moranz and mandolin virtuoso Dan Fremlin—blend original songwriting with traditional acoustic forms, creating music that feels both timeless and immediate.
For Ryland Moranz, this story carries a personal resonance—having grown up in the local community and worked within the Empress Theatre in his youth, his return to this stage adds a meaningful layer to an already evocative collaboration. Together, Moranz & Fremlin bring rich instrumentation, expressive storytelling, and a deep respect for acoustic heritage to audiences across Canada and beyond, including their debut album Williwaw (Tonic Records, 2026).
