The Newmarket Folk Society is bringing the powerful sister harmonies of The Pairs to town Saturday, Dec. 2.
The "quirky trio" of lead singers/songwriters Renée Coughlin, Noelle Frances Coughlin, and Hillary Watson offer a unique blend of music with stories of life's hope, hilarity, hardship and an unbottled chemistry quickly connects them to their audience, according to a news release.
The classically trained vocalists blur the line between the stage and the crowd as if we've pulled up a seat around their family's lively kitchen table. This award-winning group has toured internationally in Canada, the U.S. and Europe playing different shows and festivals. Their most recent show was at Massey Hall in November playing The Last Waltz with a number of other musicians.
The Pairs released their third studio album titled, When Will We Find Our Way? in October.
The album aims to engage people in hopeful conversations about making real change within ourselves. The sisters say, “By trusting that there is more than one way to live our lives, we can better show up for the demands of the world around us and better support our communities. It’s about rethinking our purpose as humans, and cultivating a more vibrant and expansive way of being together on and with this planet we all call home.”
The concert starts at 8 p.m. and take place at the Newmarket Legion, 707 Srigley St. Tickets are $30 and can be purchased online at www.newmarketfolk.com or by calling 705-431-7182 (leave a message).
