Tegan & Sara at Hoyt Sherman

Canadian identical twins Tegan & Sara perform Aug. 17 at Hoyt Sherman Place. The duo kicked off their career under the wing of Neil Young, and are a part of this year's Lillith Fair.

The sisters' 2009 album, "Sainthood," was nominated for a Juno Award for Alternative Album of the year. A Juno is like Canada's Grammy. Or Heisman. I forget the conversion of metric awards works.

Tickets are $32-$35 through Ticketmaster and go on sale Friday.
