In celebration of National Indigenous Peoples Day, the Regent Theatre in association with Prince Edward Public Library are pleased to present multi-award winning Indigenous folk duo Twin Flames.
Husband and wife duo Jaaji & Chelsey June, of Nunavut and Ottawa respectively, combine traditional Indigenous story-telling and music with western harmonies to entertain and audiences of all ages. Twin Flames melds different styles and genres because the artists believe music can help create a feeling of unity and collaboration between different cultures.
They perform original songs written in English, Inuttitut and French about courage and survival which honour their ancestor’s and cultural history. Their award-winning music offers a unique blend of different musical styles and traditions. Twin Flames have released three full length albums and been nominated for 25 music awards.
