'q' brooke bachand

2x irish music award-winning nonbinary westcoast artist 'q' (they/them) , formerly qristina bachand is a consummate performer who is clearly at ease on stage , & they are known for their powerful fiddle & captivating vocals . their contagious energy and love of Folk and Celtic music is always at the forefront as they bless audiences with energetic and spirited performances which showcase their propensities for fiddling as well as song & story-sharing .

once a teen fiddle star alongside their brother quinn , in recent years , q has blossomed & grown into their (nonbinary) gender identity and life's purpose & are singing phil ochs and dick gaughan-inspired rebel ballads and folk songs (a capella & self-accompanied) interspersed with rip-roaring fiddle tunes to help heal the soul .

for this performance , q will be joined by guitarist charlie gannon . recognized as one of the best young guitarists in Victoria ; charlie plays a wide range of styles from Celtic to Rock . his playing is highly technical yet sensitive , with inventive harmonies and chord voicings he has learned from many years of playing jazz . charlie brings new life to the simplest of songs and performs even the most difficult with ease .

their sets will equally inspire as they will bring you to tears or have you clapping (or dancing) along !
