Twin Flames

Twin Flames are 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. Their substantial body of work and widespread recognition make it clear they have something special going on. In just eight 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. 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. Together, they create sonic soundscapes using Indigenous spirit flutes, traditional drums, and Western instruments. They share a genuine love for songwriting, which stands out lyrically and melodically for the world to hear. Jaaji (Inuk from Nunavik and Mohawk from Kahnawake) and Chelsey June; Settler (with Algonquin, Métis, Cree heritage) write songs delivered through a mix of English, French and Inuttitut. Well, on their way to becoming a Canadian household name, the sky seems to be no limit for this pair.

RANJ SINGH & THE DISCRIMINATORS

Ranj Singh and The Discriminators, was formed in 2007 with Ranj on vocals and 12 string guitar, Chris Dufault on guitars and bass, Bojan Bugarinovic on Sitar, bass, and guitars, Dan Huget on his funky Electric Violin, and later Greg Stuart on percussion. The 5 piece band enjoyed a history of performing at many venues around the greater Vancouver area, before gaining major attention after performing at the 2010 Winter Olympics.

While enroute to perform as a duet at the 2010 Paralympics, Ranj and Chris were involved in a car accident. This resulted in not being able to perform as often as they would have liked, but the band did manage to get together and record and release “Found A Way Home” in 2011.

Ranj had a previous album with Chris released in 2007 titled “Simple Man” and later a solo album “The Man Cold” in 2016.

Due to the ongoing impacts of the accident, the band retired in 2012.

Fast forward to 2024, and Ranj and the Discriminators have unanimously and enthusiastically agreed to reunite for this amazing cause.

Be prepared for a treat with the bands’ unique sound of “Indo Folk Music”, a masala of subtle Indian melodies and rhythms blended with western folk originals and classic covers.

Proceeds from this gala concert will go to a second affordable housing initiative by Options Community Services and Habitat Housing Society.

Options Community Services is a registered local charity who has been providing essential social services in Surrey, South Surrey, White Rock, Delta and Langley for over 50 years.

Options collaborates with individuals, businesses, community organizations, and all levels of government to create effective, focused and responsive resources for our communities.

Services that include:

  • Early childhood development
  • Crisis support
  • Employment opportunities and community integration for new immigrants and refugees
  • Transition housing for women fleeing violence
  • Support for at-risk youth
  • Support for the homeless
  • Affordable housing

Today, these services include over 600 staff, 88 programs, 19 locations and 270+ volunteers.

Options’ first purpose-built, mixed income housing development was completed in January of this year. Located at King George Blvd. and 81 st Avenue, Habitat@81 st has 100 rental units that are now home to community members, including: women fleeing violence, refugees, seniors, at-risk youth and others facing barriers in finding decent and affordable housing, while the first two floors actively host a variety of community services for the community to access.

Kelly Gomez, current resident at Habitat@81st, shares “Finding a home through Options for myself, my husband and my four children was a gift from God. We were days away from being on the street, a place I had been before and had never wanted to go again I wanted more for my children than what I had growing up and therefore this home is a blessing.”
