About Renée

Renée Coughlin is a singer-songwriter whose work treats music as a listening practice and a vehicle for embodied expression. Through singing, writing, and movement, she explores attunement to self, to others, and to the felt experience of being alive. Her tender, thoughtful songwriting moves between hope and heartache, with unexpected turns of phrase and melodies that linger.

A self-described harmony junkie, Renée is best known as a celebrated, award-winning songwriter with the harmonizing folk trio The Pairs, who have recorded three studio albums and continue to tour internationally. She also facilitates workshops for all ages and offers one-on-one and group writing sessions. Sensitive and spunky, her witty banter and heartfelt storytelling are perfect companions to her dynamic performances. Her debut solo album is scheduled for release in 2027.
