q was always driven to experiment with various musical styles , whilst simultaneously exploring their own , unique voice as a composer ! this album is a result of this . in 2015 , q moved to ireland : earning a master's degree in traditional irish music performance . it was here in limerick where the stage was set for this solo fiddle recording !

there is a depth of honesty in q's music , and 'linger' is no exception to this ! the debut solo album from the young fiddler manages to showcase q's original tune-writing while also exploring various musical traditions ; from irish trad to trad quebecois to old-time american .

having been energetically-embraced already by the music industry as one-half of dynamic duo 'qristina & quinn bachand' , q has earned recognition around the world - including winning Top Traditional Group and Top Duo at the Irish Music Awards , earning three nominations from the Canadian Folk Music Awards and two from the Western Canadian Music Awards .
