The Roches (Maggie, Terre, and Suzzy Roche) were a vocal group of three songwriting Irish-American sisters from Park Ridge, New Jersey.[1] They were known for their "unusual" and "rich" harmonies,[2] quirky lyrics, and casually comedic stage performances.
The Roches were active as performers and recording artists from the mid-1970s through 2007, at various times performing as a trio and in pairs.
