Tegan and Sara are twin sisters born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. At age 15 they began creating music by recording demo tapes that led them to win a garage band competition. Shortly after they graduated from high school, they performed at shows and toured for small audiences in Canada. In April 1999, the talented ladies made their first album titled Under Feet Like Ours and toured more extensively throughout their home country before signing a record deal with Vapor Records.

 

After releasing their second album titled This Business of Art, they toured Europe and Japan and made an appearance on David Letterman. In February 2002, Tegan and Sara completed their third album titled If It Was You and played at every small club in the United States. Two years later, So Jealous was finalized and the duo was nominated for a Juno Award better known as the Canadian Grammy. Next, The Killers invited them on tour across the USA and The White Stripes covered one of Tegan and Sara’s songs. The Con is the most recent album created by the band and is currently available in stores.
