The O’Pears are a Toronto-based contemporary folk trio whose breathtaking harmonies, thoughtful songwriting, and infectious warmth have captivated audiences across Canada and beyond.Comprised of three accomplished singer-songwriters – Lydia Persaud, Jill Harris and Meg Contini – the group blends folk, roots, and a cappella traditions into a sound that is both intimate and richly layered. Drawing comparisons to The Staves, Crosby, Stills & Nash and Nick Drake, The O’Pears combine sophisticated vocal arrangements with honest storytelling and an effortless onstage chemistry.
Winners of the 2018 Folk Music Ontario Stingray Rising Star Award, the trio has performed at festivals including Summerfolk, Lunenburg Folk Harbour Festival, and GroundUP Music Festival in Miami, while also touring internationally.
Their recordings include Like Those Nights (2016) and Stay Warm (2018), the latter exploring the emotional complexities of the winter season through original compositions and reimagined seasonal favourites.
Whether performing intricate a cappella arrangements or accompanying themselves with roots-inspired instrumentation, The O’Pears create the kind of musical experience that transforms a concert hall into an intimate gathering of friends. Sunday December 20.
