TheACT Arts Centre presents MichaelKaeshammer on Sunday, April 23, 2017at 7:30 p.m. as part of the 2016-2017 ACT Presents Series.
Michael Kaeshammer has been called Canada’s triple-threat combo of piano virtuosity, vocal ability, and charisma. Kaeshammer's performances are pure delight and his energy knows no bounds. Audiences at The ACT Arts Centre know this first hand. Performing during The ACT Arts
Centre’s inaugural season over a decade ago and again in 2014, Michael Kaeshammer has received standing ovations each time.
The prolific Vancouver Island-based singer/songwriter/pianist/producer has earned a loyal local and international following as a triple threat. He’s a piano virtuoso with a technical mastery of many
different styles, an eloquent singer/songwriter, and a charming and engaging performer. Kaeshammer is well known in Canada but has toured extensively in the United States and Europe and five times in China.

"People Get Ready"
Released in 2016, No Filter, the eleventh album from Michael Kaeshammer shares the sound of
an artist following his muse completely unhindered by thoughts of commercial imperatives or genre constraints. He has an acrobatic way with a grand piano. When Kaeshammer performs, it’s obvious he’s
having a ball, playing superlative boogie-woogie, blues, jazz, and pop cross-over material, drawn mostly from an impressive list of standards and his catalogue of studio recordings. No wonder he is a
six-time JUNO Award nominee, a three-time West Coast Music Award winner, and the winner of the Canadian Smooth Jazz Award for Keyboardist/Pianist of the Year, 2010, and Best Original Composition
for “Isabelle”.
In the video below you can see his talent firsthand (pun intended)he also speaks of the history of his music and inspirations as well.
Michael Kaeshammeris an excellent role model for young music students, as he first madehis own mark as a young piano prodigy. Growing up in Offenburg, Germany, he studied classical piano for seven years before falling in love at 13 with the boogie-woogie and stride piano stylings of
such greats as Albert Ammons, Pete Johnson, and Meade Lux Lewis. Today, Many piano students find inspiration from seeing Michael perform live.
