Twenty years ago Sara played me a song called Walking With A Ghost. We were on tour in Europe. I couldn’t believe she had written it, but it was also the sound of the recording, her instrumentation, the vibe of the whole thing that shattered me. It was clear Sara had uncovered something, some new creative avenue, a direction for our band I hadn’t even realized we were in need of. I felt panicked.…

This tour is going to be like nothing we have ever done. We’ll be solo (can we still call it “solo” if there are two of us?). We’ll be playing acoustic (mostly). We’ll be reading from our memoir High School, and performing songs from the new album Hey, I’m Just Like You. And we’ll be playing a collection of songs from our older records (don’t worry!). We’ve pulled our favorite moments from all the old…
The new Tegan and Sara album Hey I'm Just Like You, Out September 27. Pre-order now at teganandsara.lnk.to/HeyImJustLikeYou Last year while writing our new memoir, we came across two cassette tapes with dozens of songs we wrote in high school.

It had been over twenty years…

There's so many perks associated w/ being…

This is the origin story of Tegan and Sara. mcdbooks.com/news/announcing-high-school-tegan-sara
