- Keith MacPherson
- Renée Lamoureux
Keith Macpherson and Renee Lamoureux first met in their hometown of Winnipeg, Canada in 1997 - Renee was in hair-styling school; Keith was in teacher's college. They quickly realized the potential of their dynamic, formed the band Easily Amused and hit the stage at their first opportunity. "I remember the first rehearsal we had in our drummer's basement," said Keith. "It felt like Renee and I had been singing together forever. Our vocal blend stood out from the very first time we sang together as something that just simply worked." They released Novice, their first album, in 2001 and spent the next three years touring tirelessly through every major city and college town in North America.
By the time they released Simple Stuff in 2004, they had developed an audience that was eager for more of what they had to offer. From here, the path was clear: work their way into popular consciousness one show at a time.
With a name change in 2007 to Keith and Renee, the release of their third album, Revolution, has propelled the pair into a new era of good fortune – one where their unique combination of playful harmonies and thoughtful lyrics is translating into viable commercial success, critical recognition and an ever-expanding world of open doors.
Keith and Renee have appeared at major festivals including Canadian Music Week, North By Northeast, Musexpo, London Calling, Nemo, and The Western Canadian Music Awards. Their unique charm and natural stage presence earned them spots on Canada AM, Vicki Gabereau and Open Mike with Mike Bullard, as well as opening for heavy-hitting acts including Sean Lennon , Tegan and Sara and Crash Test Dummies . They've been nominated for numerous awards and have played hundreds of shows every year since the beginning of their musical joyride.
