Keys & Congas has been performing together in the Memphis area since 2022, blending a variety of styles with rich rhythms and dynamic keys.
Keyboardist and vocalist Ramona McKnight, a Memphis native, has over 20 years of experience performing with local reggae and blues bands. She also plays ukulele and guitar, and spent five years in England performing reggae while completing her music degree.
Percussionist Scott Sherman, also from Memphis, began playing drums in local bands as a teenager before trading drumsticks for the hands-on energy of congas and percussion.
Keyboardist and vocalist Kris Grauel, originally from Cleveland, Ohio, grew up playing classical piano before expanding into jazz, blues, and rock. Today, he plays nearly every style, though rock and blues remain his favorites. Kris moved to Memphis in 2002.
Meeting through mutual friends, the members of Keys & Congas have built a lively, versatile sound and continue to perform regularly at venues throughout the Memphis area.
