THE PAIRS
Powered by soaring sister harmonies, this quirky trio's unbottled chemistry quickly connects them to their audience. Renée Coughlin, Noelle Frances Coughlin, and Hillary Watson are the three distinct lead singers/songwriters of The Pairs. Together they offer a unique blend of music with stories of life's hope, hilarity, and hardship. These 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 been touring internationally in Canada, the USA, and Europe since 2022 and will release their third studio album titled, "When Will We Find Our Way?" in October 2023.
This group’s founding members were born two months and two days apart from one another to mothers who are best friends. Renée and Noelle are identical twins, and their chosen sister Hillary is also a twin. Since their birth, they’ve been part of one another’s lives and have been singing around campfires, and kitchen counters for as long as they can remember. After spending most of their youth and adolescent years as part of large choral ensembles they each ventured down their separate paths, taking up work as activists, farmers, and teachers, embedding themselves within other community projects. In 2015 they came back together around music making, their own little form of group therapy, and in 2016 they named themselves The Pairs and began an honest pursuit of a musical career.
