ABOUT

Amanda was born in Toronto and from an early age showed huge musical ability. This promise was borne out by a "hot chocolate" voice, combining perfect pitch with haunting melody. Drawing on familial influences of country, folk, motown, R&B, as well as pop/rock, into her early teen years she began writing her own material, incorporating these myriad musical styles. More recently, Amanda has begun to develop her own instrument skills and is now a talented guitarist & percussionist in her own right.
?
Her partner in life, love and music, Markus Lloyd has been playing guitar for almost two decades. He has toured extensively throughout Ireland, South East Asia and Australia honing his craft fusing his musical styles with his fellow musicians on his travels. His major musical influences are eclectic in range, veering from folk, modern/classic rock to traditional Irish music. More recently, Markus has added the piano and mandolin to his instrumental repertoire.
?
Amanda Keeley Music was created as a platform to showcase the combined creative projects from Amanda Keeley's solo performances to the Amanda Keeley Duo, Trio and 5 piece, Amanda Keeley Band. The addition of band members has created great diversity in repertoire and versatility for performing at various venues.

Amanda & Markus are currently recording their first album and can be seen performing locally on a regular basis. Amanda co-hosts a weekly Open Jam at The Keystorm Pub in Brockville, ON. A great way for musicians to come out and connect within their music community. The jam takes place every Wednesday from 8-11pm.
