Tegan and Sara

BIOGRAPHy

Folk-rock duo Tegan and Sara first burst onto the Canadian music scene in 1998, when they earned the highest score in history at Calgary’s “Garage Warz” competition; their quick rise didn’t stop. Their melodic acoustics and charming stage personas led to a slew of dates with Sarah McLachlan’s Lilith Fair and a record deal with Neil Young’s Vapor Records in April 2000. Two years later, Tegan and Sara released If It Was You, and So Jealous hit shelves in 2004. In 2007, they came out with the Christopher Walla (of Death Cab)-produced The Con. Working with Walla went well, and the duo utilized his production skills on their next album as well. Sainthood was released in October of 2009. A live CD/DVD combination package titled Get Along was released on November 15 and contained three films: “States,” “India” and “For The Most Part.” Get Along was nominated for a Grammy for “Best Long Form Music Video.” Tegan and Sara released Heartthrob in 2013. They followed with Love You to Death in 2016. Tegan and Sara continue to tour the world.
