American vocal trio of sisters known for their intricate close harmonies, quirky lyrics, and blend of folk, pop, and avant-garde styles.Sisters Maggie, Terre, and Suzzy Roche formed The Roches in New York City in the mid-1970s. They gained recognition with their self-titled debut album (1979), produced by Robert Fripp. Known for their witty, observational songs and unique vocal blend, they released over a dozen albums and toured extensively until Maggie's death in 2017. Their music combined folk traditions with sophisticated harmonies and urban sensibilities.

• Paul Simon produced Terre and Maggie's first album as a duo ('Seductive Reasoning') before Suzzy joined to form the trio.
• Their song "We" from the debut album became a signature piece, humorously detailing the struggles of three single sisters sharing an apartment.
• They contributed the song "The Married Men" to the soundtrack of the film 'Crossing Delancey' (1988).
• Maggie Roche died on January 21, 2017, after battling breast cancer. Terre and Suzzy have continued to perform occasionally as a duo and Suzzy maintains a solo career.
