Sweet...yet Gritty!

 

That's PEAR! Being labelled as "the most accomplished band you've never heard of", PEAR is taking the crossover market by storm with their infectious blends of alternative, pop and country music.

 

When Lynae and Denis Dufresne came off the road after fronting one of the most successful fiddle acts in history, they decided to take time off and start a domestic life in Calgary. Well... they became a bit antsy... Together, they have performed all over the world: including Europe, Scandinavia, France, Germany, China and throughout North America. With Lynae as the songstress and Denis as the musical backbone, the two have joined together to become pop country roots group, PEAR: a sweet yet gritty band that is juicier than most of the other apples out there in country music. As the core of PEAR, the two are both celebrated and accomplished musicians in the country, folk and world music scenes and individually have backed up some of the biggest names in these styles of music. They have performed on over 200 recordings and given command performances for The Prince Of Wales and Prime Minister Jean Chretien. Both Denis and Lynae have been nominated for 2 Canadian Gemini Awards and Denis is currently the 2011 CCMA “Fiddle and Mandolin Player of the Year”.

 

PEAR weaves a signature sound that is clever and assured.

  

PEAR is fresh and different.

 

PEAR is prime for the picking...NOW TAKE A BITE!!
