Maria and Lisa Rieder are sisters who are based in Vancouver,
B.C. and have been singing together since they could. They
started to perform in May 2003 and since then they've shared

for opportunities for musicians to play together, introduced
Christina and Lisa to Mike, Jameson, and Daniel. Christina
and Lisa either perform with or without the band, all the
while touching the audience with heartfelt harmonies and
sincere lyrics. The response from the audiences all have
been very positive.
