Tegan and Sara Quin (born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada on September 19 1980, identical twins) are Canadian singer-songwriters, performing as Tegan and Sara. They got their start by winning a local music competition, Calgary's "Garage Warz." Since then, the two have toured extensively with many artists, including Neil Young, Rufus Wainwright, Ryan Adams, Ben Folds, The Pretenders, The Killers, Little Birdy and Weezer. They are signed to Neil Young's Vapor Records. Tegan lives in Vancouver, British Columbia and Sara lives in Montreal, Quebec.

Originally the duo was known as "Sara and Tegan," but they decided to switch the names because of two reasons. Firstly, Tegan is a more unique name than Sara, so this would make them stand out more to music fans. Also, when written for the website address, saraandtegan.com looked weird.
