"Gorgeous vocal intertwining,
served with wit and heart..."
"Contemporary
court jesters, The Roches make you think, but not at the expense
of a hearty belly laugh."
San Francisco Chronicle
"The wait was worthwhile...Moonswept easily ranks among their
best work..."
Bay Area Reporter
"...utterly seductive in its warmth, quark strangeness, and
mysterious charm."
The Roches are Maggie, Terre, and Suzzy, three sisters from
New York City. Known for their swirling harmonies and extraordinary
lyrical perspective as well as their smart and fun live performances,
they have created a unique musical expression perhaps best described
as “Roche Music.” Their self titled debut 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 celebrated with The Parent’s Gold Choice
Award. We Three Kings, a collection of Christmas and Holiday
songs, is a perennial favorite in households all across the United
States and overseas. Besides several appearances on The Tonight
Show, David Letterman, and A Prairie Home Companion, they have
recorded and written music for movies and TV including their own
episode of Steven Spielberg's “Tiny Toons,” as well
as songs for the movie “Land Before Time” and the
score for “Crossing Delancey,” which included a cameo
role for Suzzy. They’ve performed and recorded with Philip
Glass, Paul Simon and The Indigo Girls just to name a few. Suzzy’s
solo cd, Songs from an Unmarried Housewife & Mother, Greenwich
Village USA was named “Album Of the Week” by the
New York Times. Zero Church, their widely acclaimed collection
of prayers, which began at Harvard University, is a musical celebration
of faith and diversity, featured on NPR’s All Things Considered.
Their comeback album Moonswept (©2007
429
Records) has arrived with wide acclaim and was recently featured
on NPR's
Talk of the Nation.
