The Rossland Council for Arts and Culture Performance Series presents
The Pairs
Sunday, March 23rd, 2025
Rossland Miners HallĀ
Powered by soaring sister harmonies, this quirky trio’s unbottled chemistry quickly connects them to their audience. RenĆ©e Coughlin, Noelle Frances Coughlin, and Hillary Watson are the three distinct lead singers/songwriters of The Pairs.Ā
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.Ā
This award-winning group has been touring internationally in Canada, the USA, and Europe since 2022 and released their third studio album titled, “When Will We Find Our Way?” in October 2023.
The Pairs: āFor us, singing our songs can feel like shaking off the parts of ourselves we no longer wish to carry – the shame, the avoidance, the self-ridicule – and while choosing a path different from where weāve been before is uncertain and precarious at times, it feels empowering to publicly share who it is we wish to become.Ā
We hope that our music and live shows can engage people in optimistic and meaningful conversations about making real change within ourselves. 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. Itās 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.ā
āThe Pairs became a festival favourite after their very first song. Their infectious energy, joy, and talent had the entire audience enraptured immediately and they have become the band most requested to return ever since. Book them while you still can! I hope I can!ā
– Miranda Mulholland, Artistic Director of Muskoka Music Festival and Dockside Festival, Vice-Chair of the Board of Governors, Massey/Roy Thomson Halls, Chair of the Music Canada Advisory Council.
āSomething happens every time Iāve been lucky enough to see The Pairs perform. A change comes over us all ā a change you can see, and feel: Smiles spread across faces; eyes widen; ears perk up; and bodies swoon. Every time. Even among hardened, grumpy music-industry āprofessionalsā (this testimonial-writer included!). Itās the music, but itās also the energy, excitement, and genuine humanity that they radiate.ā
– Jon Campbell, Head of Programming Operations at Small World Music, Toronto, ON
Two 45-minute acts with 20-minute intermission
