   About PEAR
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 welcomed a baby into their home and decided on a domestic life in Calgary. Well now... they've become a bit antsy... Together, this group of 5 musicians have performed all over the world: including Europe, Scandanavia, 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 alternative country group PEAR: a sweet yet gritty new 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 on the country, folk and world music scenes and individually have backed up some of the biggest names in these styles of music.

PEAR weaves a signature sound that is clever and assured.

PEAR is young and sexy.

PEAR is fresh and different.

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