Double dose of Keshia Chanté in one weekend, you ask? Why, yes, #It’sAChantéThing of course…
12:45 am Friday April 15th 2011 Club La Mouche in Montreal.
Club is at full capacity with the trendy and dance hungry early-20’s crowd, awaiting Miss Chanté’s anticipated performance. A few moments later, the music has transitioned smoothly from DJ to live session to the tune of Table Dancer when Keshia comes onto the stage bursting with energy and smiles for all, flanked by two very accomplished Canadian musicians : Hill Kourkoutis on bass and Adrian Eccleston on guitar. Suddenly realization dawns : we’ve all watched her grow into this incredible woman with so much potential musically. It is finally being noticed and I can’t help but smile and be proud. All these years of working hard and the wait is so worth it . The stage is her home: home is where her heart definitely is and it SHOWS. Combine her natural stage presence, complicity with her bandmates, matured vocal range and a pure sense of fun and it makes for one great performance. The trio goes into a medley of Does He Love Me/2U/Bad Boy “where my bad boys at in this club tonight?”/Been Gone and completes the set with the latest hit Set U Free (which you ALL must check out live, it is such a great track)

11:45 pm , April 16th Rhythm Nation 2011 at Théâtre Plaza in Montreal.
Rainy Saturday night and most people are watching NHL Playoffs Mtl-Boston series, the old converted Théâtre Plaza is filled with a more seasoned, varied crowd waiting to be blown away by quite the selection of local RNB artists: Leila, Randy Raymond, Sandy Duperval, Marco Volcy, and Jacynthe (to name a few) are bringing fire to the stage in their own distinct way, leading up to the last but certainly not the least performance of the evening by special guest Keshia Chanté. Loud cheers are heard at the mention that she is indeed “IN DA HOUSEEEEEE!” On a wider stage, and showing off a gorgeous designer dress by Montreal’s own Coccolily, hops and skips a classy Keshia: never oversexed but always sexy in good taste, she delights the crowd again. She has reached a maturity and confidence in that sense and has managed to stray away from the industry pull. She shows that she has achieved a control of her business and that confidence is definitely refreshing. Tonight, full versions of Table Dancer, 2U, Bad Boy and Set U Free are on the set list. (Have I mentioned how good Set U Free is live?? That bass heavy bridge goes in!!)
