The musical stylings of Ranj Singh is the next concert in the popular Sunday@3 Concert Series at Ladner United Church.
Singh is an award-winning international touring and recording artist.
He started his career in the 80’s performing with many Folk Punjabi and Hindi artists in the Vancouver area.
In the 90’s he helped form the “Bhangra Rock” group Dal Dil Vog (a.k.a. DDV).
The group went on to win numerous awards and shared the stage with artists such as Jann Arden, 54-40, Colin James, Matthew Good, and more. DDV’s unique style of bhangra/rock music led to tours throughout North America and India, live performances on Much Music, three music videos on Much Music, and one on MTV Asia. Other notable venues he has performed at include Roy Thomson Hall, Vancouver Folk Fest, Seattle Folk Fest, Oregon County Fair, Hard Rock Café Toronto, and many more.
Lately he has been working hard performing more than 200 shows a year as a solo artist, and has opened for Honeymoon Suite and shared the stage with many award-winning artists, such as Ra McGuire of Trooper. With a unique voice accompanied by his two alternate-tuned 12-string guitars, his genre of Indo-Folk music is a melodic and soothing combination of subtle Indian melodies with classic pop/rock covers and originals.
The Sunday, Oct. 6 concert starts at 3 p.m. at Ladner United Church (4960 48th Ave). Tickets are $10 (cash) at the door.
