“I first saw The Pairs at a folk festival do a rare thing - make a noisy, wandering crowd suddenly go quiet. You could tell right then they are something rare and one of the brightest new voices in Canadian folk.” - Tom Power
— CBC's Q
“...“Together on a Rock” is a musical detox, embodying compassion and genuine, unfeigned emotions, and reminding us how important it is to remain feeling and sincere in a world increasingly dominated by artificial sounds and superficial meanings.” - Helena Lynch
“In a day when so many bands rely on studio wizardry to make records, The Pairs record Together on a Rock live-off-the-floor and show why they are quickly becoming known as one of the great vocal trios.”
Bio
The Pairs are a Canadian folk trio bringing soaring harmonies, infectious energy, and a whole lot of heart to every stage. Composed of three distinct songwriters, their music is playful, poignant, and deeply human. Equal parts heartfelt storytellers and joyful troublemakers, this internationally touring and award winning trio leaves audiences smiling, singing, and wanting more.
October 2025 saw the release of their fourth studio album, Together on a Rock, capturing the authentic, minimalistic, and acoustic performance style the trio has become known for. The album landed in the top ten on the Folk Alliance International Folk Charts for three months, continues to receive regular airplay on SiriusXM, and led to a feature on Q with Tom Power. The Pairs are scheduled to release their fifth album in the spring of 2027, and continue an exciting touring schedule into 2028.
