2Frères is a Canadian folk rock duo from Chapais, Quebec, consisting of brothers Erik and Sonny Caouette.[1] They are most noted as two-time winners of the Félix Award for Group of the Year, winning at the 38th Félix Awards in 2016[2] and at the 40th Félix Awards in 2018.[3]

Formed in 2008, they released their debut album Nous autres in April 2015.[4] The album sold 80,000 copies in Quebec and was certified platinum,[5] and the band were the most-played artists of any genre on francophone radio in Canada in 2016.[6] In addition to their Group of the Year win at the Felix Awards in 2016, the album also won Pop Album of the Year.[1]

Their second album, La Route, was released in November 2017.[7][8] The album's single "Comme avant"[9] spent a record 25 weeks as the most-played song on Quebec radio,[10] and the album was again certified gold.[11]

Their third album, À tous les vents, followed in February 2020.[12][13] The album debuted at #1 on Quebec's pop charts.[14] With touring impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada, the album was partially promoted by a documentary special on the duo, 2Frères : L’improbable parcours, which was broadcast by TVA on September 27, 2020,[15] as well as a companion book, 2Frères, À tous les vents : L’histoire d’un improbable parcours, by François Couture.[16]

They received three Felix nominations at the 42nd Félix Awards in 2020, for Group of the Year, Adult Contemporary Album of the Year for À tous les vents, and Song of the Year for the album's title track.[17]

They received two Juno Award nominations at the Juno Awards of 2021, for Breakthrough Group of the Year and Francophone Album of the Year for À tous les vents.[18]
