Qristina & Quinn Bachand

Qristina & Quinn Bachand have proven to be quintessential to Canada's contribution to the world stage, garnering a mantle-packing collection of awards and recognition that thrust them to the top of the Celtic music world. Born on Canada's West Coast, with its signature embrace of experimentation and improvisation, Qristina & Quinn have developed their own 'voice', exploring various musical traditions, fusing styles such as Old-Time, Celtic, Folk and Jazz to create their own distinctive sound. Their music features a hint of grunge, a dash of noir, a healthy sprinkling of Celtic and a dollop of rootsy goodness, engaging contemporary listeners with jaw-dropping effect. While their performances speak to the heart of traditional roots music, they successfully introduce their own fresh approach. They artfully meld heart-swelling, stomp and clap Celtic Roots with progressive Indie Folk, with results that are arresting, provocative, stimulating and thoroughly intoxicating.
