Currently 18 and 20 years old, songwriting and performing are as natural to Rachel and Alisha MacGregor, as living and breathing. Their sound is their own, but has been compared "favorably to '70's California Fleetwood Mac". In addition they have been compared to other pop groups such as The Cranberries and The Corrs with the songwriting capabilities of Chantal Kreviazuk. 

Although young, they already have had tremendous success. They completed their first EP "Rain" when they were 12 and 13 and finished their first full length CD, "Dark Beauty" in November 2005. As International Songwriting Competition Winners, both Rachel and Alisha have had the opportunity to attend Berklee College of Music in Boston on full scholarships to their summer programs.  While at Berklee, Alisha entered one of her songs called "Wide Awake" in a songwriting competition. She was selected as a winner and asked to perform her song to a packed house at the Berklee Performance Center on Massachusetts Avenue and won another full scholarship for the following summer.

In addition to the Berklee Performance Center, The MacGregors have performed at the Bell Convention Center - Montreal; the Pepsi Coliseum - Quebec City; the Telus Convention Center - Calgary; Toronto; New Music West, Vancouver and in LA to name a few. They also were selected in 2007 to be part of an all expense paid tour through Music BC called "Get Outta town Tour". The tour was headlined by Tal Bachman and covered cities across the province of BC.

In January 2007, they were invited to showcase at NAMM 2007 in LA, USA which is one of the world's largest music industry events with over 20,000 in attendance.

Currently their CD Dark Beauty is being distributed across Canada by CMC Distribution and is also available from CDBaby.com and iTunes.com. Rachel and Alisha have spent the last year working on projects on their own. They both have done a lot of writing and solo performing which has made them excited to be performing together again.
