Free Beer was a Canadian comedic musical duo, consisting of Newfoundland entertainer Kevin Blackmore[1][2] and Lorne Elliott,[3] who hails from Montreal.[4]

History

The duo was formed in 1979, and toured throughout eastern Canada, from Newfoundland to Montreal, performing in bars and on university campuses.

Among their comedic performances was an operatic arrangement of "I'se the Bye".[5]
