Each event is like a perfectly mixed cocktail. Two parts conversation, one-part live music, one-part question and answer and splashed with a dash of the unexpected. Each evening includes 2 – 40 interview sets and ends with a post-show meet and greet. And everyone comes away with the story behind the artist.
Four-time Canadian Folk Music Award winners, 2022 Vocal Group of the Year, Twin Flames, offer a memorable experience with the perfect blend of music, comedy and thought-provoking stories.
Their synchronicity and love shine through on every stage they play. A husband-and-wife duo that combines genres, languages and instrumental range to deliver a powerful sound that is both contemplative Folk and unapologetic Rock ‘n’ Roll. Twin Flames have chosen to let their music speak for itself. In just 9 years of recording and performing as Twin Flames, the duo has accumulated over 44 music awards and nominations. Their songs have earned them a unique place among contemporary music-makers and songwriters, which has, in turn, led to them touring all over the world. Together, they create sonic soundscapes using Indigenous spirit flutes, traditional drums, and Western instruments.
They share a genuine love for song writing, which stands out lyrically and melodically for the world to hear. Jaaji (Inuk from Nunavik and Mohawk from Kahnawake) and Chelsey June from Ottawa, with both (Settler and Indigenous heritage), write songs delivered through a mix of English, French and Inuktitut.
