The Key Elements Band

The Key Elements Band Duo, trio or 4-pc band in NH/MA/ME playing nostalgic favorites and dance tunes from the 60's,70's & 80's

Back in 1992, siblings Mike and Liz Comeau combined their musical talent to form Key Elements, a 3 piece band (4 pieces if you count the drum machine) covering all the favorite artists they were raised on. For 5 successful years, they played decks, bars, events and cruises up and down the Seacoast. But then ... Yoko Ono came along and really riled everyone up ... wait, that might be a different ba

nd I’m thinking of ... ahem ... I guess it was just “Life” that took over and somehow the band fell away, but Liz and Mike’s passion for music stayed strong. Fast forward to late fall 2016: Mike called Liz and said “Let’s get the band back together!” to which Liz replied “What, are you crazy??”

Fast forward to Summer 2017 and Key Elements (2.0) was up and running, with a new (human) drummer, John Spofford, and kick-ass bass player, Thom Scagliotti. They are still obsessed with music of the 60’s, 70's and 80's ... especially acoustic rock, upbeat dance tunes, one hit wonders, and even some of the more obscure songs that make you reach into the recesses of your memory. We groove on groups like The Eagles, James Taylor, Janice Joplin, Jimmy Buffett, Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty, Carole King, John Mellencamp, The Pretenders and many others. Mike Comeau on lead vocals and guitar, Liz Comeau on lead vocals, keys, flute, harmonica (with the occasional kazoo solo), along with Thomas Scagliotti the bass playa, and John Spofford the drumma. We're available to play at public venues and private events in NH, Maine, Mass and the Arctic Circle.

Dear friends.
Our gig at Castaways tonight was cancelled, due to a little rain, when we arrived with our gear. Wish they'd have had the courtesy to call us first. Disrespectful and unprofessional.

Key Elements will not be playing there again.
