About this Artist

The Roches (Folk)

As their theme song states, the Roche sisters--Maggie and Terre and Suzzy--came from deepest New Jersey and made a smash on the anemic late-1970s Greenwich Village folk circuit by combining traditional, goose-bump-raising vocal harmonies with off-kilter melodies and sharply funny, urbane lyrics. Their beautifully spare 1979 debut album, produced by Robert Fripp in pristine "audio verite," perfectly captured the power of their songwriting and performances. The sisters have continued to release critically praised albums (some with more fleshed-out pop arrangements) and maintain a regular touring schedule, both as a trio and in various permutations. They are still beloved in New York City folk circles, where their annual multicultural caroling events are a highlight of the Christmas season.
