5. Keith and Renee

What started as an awkward meeting through a friend turned music making magic has now brought Keith and Renee to ten years as a musical duo, but not without a whole lot of work and determination. Starting out as a four-piece band and then branching off into a duo, Keith and Renee have so far released four albums with a fifth on the way this summer. Starting off with a folk-pop sound on Novice (2001), Simple Stuff (2004) and Revolution (2007), the duo saw much deeper interest from the public by the latter album as their single ‘Good Year’ was chosen as the Manitoba Homecoming 2010 official anthem song.
