Support Women Artists Sunday: Tegan and Sara
Tegan and Sara
Ask and you shall receive, FBombers…
Tegan and Sara are a Canadian indie rock/indie pop duo consisting of identical twins Tegan Rain Quin and Sara Kiersten Quin, born September 19, 1980. Both Tegan and Sara write, sing, and play guitar and keyboard. They have released six studio albums since 1999, most recently Sainthood in 2009.
Tegan and Sara were born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. They initially played as PLUNK and lacked a drummer and bass player. In 1998, they made an early breakthrough by winning Garage Warz Battle of the Bands, a local music competition in Calgary. Since then, the two have toured extensively.
While both twins are similarly involved in vocals and playing instruments, the singing of the lead melody usually goes to whichever twin wrote the particular song.
Tegan and Sara released a new album, titled Sainthood, produced by Chris Walla and Howard Redekopp on October 27, 2009. Spin Magazine gave Sainthood four out of five possible stars and wrote, “Tegan and Sara’s music may no longer be the stuff of teens, but its strength remains in how much it feels like two people talking.”

I’m so excited you featured them! Tegan and Sara are one of my faves and for several months I’ve been thinking and hoping they would be spotlighted on Support Women Artists Sundays. Not to mention all the Human Rights and Equality work they do. T&S are great role models for all girls not just aspiring musicians. <3

They are awesome! I grew up about an hour from Calgary, so it’s cool to see them get bigger and better-known all the time.
