Calgary-based husband and wife duo, PEAR, is set to perform at the Cugnet Centre on Tuesday, March 24. This is the fifth performance in the 2014-2015 Weyburn Concert Series.
Denis and Lynae Dunfresne formed PEAR in 2006, after headlining the international fiddle sensation, BARRAGE.
Attendees can expect the PEAR performance to deliver modern country with folk sensibilities. The group has won three Canadian Country Music Association Awards and was named the Group of the Year in 2013 from the Country Music Association in Alberta.
PEAR has been self-described as "sweet..yet gritty". They have been labeled as the "most accomplished fiddle band you have ever heard of ".
The performances by PEAR have created a stir in the alternative, pop and country music categories, as their music crosses the boundaries, delving into each of these genres.
Lynae is the songstress and Denis, the musical backbone. Each of them has brought their experience as a solo artist to the table, opening for various individuals during their musical careers.
After fronting some of the most successful fiddle acts in history, Lynae and Denis Dufresne initially settled down to domestic life in Calgary. Eager to get back to performing, the Dunfresnes, along with a group of musicians, began their journey performing across the world. They have travelled to Europe, Scandanavia, France, Germany, China and throughout North America.
PEAR has been touring Saskatchewan during the month of March and Weyburn Concert Series is delighted to offer this talented duo.
Tickets for the concert are available at Superior Office Products.
