Who are Beats'n Keys?

The elevator pitch:

Beats'n Keys is an Ottawa-based musician duo featuring Jamie Holmes on drums (beats) and Jeff Rogers on vocals and keys. The band has been performing steadily since 2016 all over Ottawa. From bars/clubs/restaurants to many charity and corporate events, as well as private parties, this highly in-demand band keeps very busy.

 

The band also expands into a 3 to 8 piece band, with a roster of colleagues among the very best musicians Canada has to offer. The band can go from a groovy duo, to a rocking trio, and a soulful/funky extravagant 5-8 piece band including horns.

 

As a duo, Beats’n Keys are unlike any other pair around, utilizing Jeff’s outstanding left hand bass and highly trained soulful voice, the melodies are unique and elite while sitting atop Ottawa’s most highly sought-after drummer: Jamie Holmes. Their song list is over 1000 songs long, all done their own way with unique arrangements that evolve from day to day. Songs are never played the same way twice, and you have to see and hear it to believe it, but they are always good. In any given set, the band can (and does) go from modern pop, to classic swing, to funk, jazz, soul, r&b, folk, blues, country, and even salsa and disco! Their song selection is based on each crowd they play in front of, seeing what works with the folks listening, and building a show based on preferences. Their long song list allows them to truly customize for each audience specifically.

 

Available for private parties, public venues, weddings, charity and corporate events, you won’t regret getting your music from this powerhouse duo. And when they bring their friends to join them on guitar, organ, additional vocalists, trumpet, sax and trombone, your event will be taken to a whole new level. These musicians are among the very best in the country.
