Maple Sugar Festival (Nanaimo) brings BC's Francophone community together

Born and raised in Victoria, British Columbia, Qristina & Quinn Bachand come from a family with a strong musical heritage that has deep roots in France and Northern Spain.

Individually, they are exceptional instrumentalists, combined, their spirit of spontaneous fun emerges, and the jigs, reels, & fiddle tunes heat up. A powerhouse of talent, the Bachands consistently deliver a spirited performance that features her enthusiasm and love of Celtic music. Qristina and Quinn have been featured at numerous concert venues, folk clubs and festivals across Canada, Scotland and Ireland.

Qristina Bachand is carving out a name for herself in the fiddle world as a solid & versatile fiddler. Her expressive style is smooth & clean yet rooted in tradition.

Incredibly talented and blessed with an acute ear and an intense sense of rhythm 12 year old Quinn Bachand is rapidly establishing himself as a gifted guitar player & sought after accompanist. A focused & intense player, Quinn has the unique ability to bring out the best in each tune.

Qristina & Quinn released their much anticipated full length debut CD “Relative Minors” in July 2008 which has been garnering excellent reviews. Penguin Eggs CD review by Tim Readman adds “an assured debut from a duo we are bound to be hearing more of”.
