The Roches Bring Their Swirling Harmonies and Extraordinary Lyrical Perspective to Oberlin College

February 20, 2007 -- The Roches, three sisters from New York City who have created fifteen recordings in various configurations, will be at Oberlin College on Saturday, March 3, at 8:00 p.m. The performance will take place in Finney Chapel and tickets are $8 and $4 for seniors.

The Roches, Maggie, Terre & Suzzy, have defied definition, and most accurately their music can be called “Roche” music. Their self titled album, “The Roches” was hailed as the Best Record of The Year by the New York Times. Their children’s recording “Will You Be My Friend” was awarded The Parent’s Gold Choice Award. A collection of Christmas and Holiday songs, “We Three Kings” is a perennial favorite in households across the United States and overseas.
The Roches performed for twenty years as a trio throughout Europe and the United States in a wide variety of venues from their own sold out show at Carnegie Hall to the concert halls of Europe and the street corners of New York City. They have appeared on The Tonight Show, The David Letterman Show, and have sung with Philip Glass, Paul Simon, Laurie Anderson, The Indigo Girls, Loudon Wainwright, and Linda Ronstadt just to name a few. They have written music for television and films and were even drawn as cartoon characters for Steven Spielberg’s Tiny Toon’s series.

Tickets are available at the door or can be purchased by contacting the Central Ticket Service at 440-775-8169
