In 2007, lead singer Jesse-James Cameron formed Makeshift Innocence. Canadian born, Cameron spent three seminal years in Negril, Jamaica, where he fell in love with the tones and feel of reggae music – music that now infuses the group’s reggae, rock and roots sounds with authentic Caribbean flavour. In 2010, Tammy Amstutz joined Cameron to create a formidable live show. The two songwriter-performers are regularly backed with drums, guitar and organ. Known as one of Western Canada's best live acts, they have sold out several shows from 2010 to 2012. Makeshift Innocence have also toured extensively, including 2012 stops in most major cities in the U.S. and Germany, while 2013 will see the band tour South Africa for the first time, along with an extensive tour across Europe. With original songs such as “One Love” and “All You Need is Love,” they share an inspired message that finds an audience around the world. 2012 highlights include performances at the opening of the 100th Anniversary of the Calgary Stampede, an international showcase at Musexpo in LA, and a gala EMMN (European Music and Media Night) performance in Hamburg, Germany which lead to requests for several European tours and promotional appearances.
