Regarded as one of the most entertaining performers in Canada of any musical genre, rock 'n roll, boogie-woogie pianist Michael Kaeshammer is a world-class musician, a 'cool' singer, and a charismatic showman who connects with any concert-hall audience as though he was entertaining guests in his own living room. Kaeshammer's performances, on record and on stage, are an invitation to join the party. Don't miss Kaeshammer's return to Meaford, Monday April 25! "For me the performance is as much about the energy coming off the stage as the energy coming from the audience. It's about being myself, writing from the heart and showing my love for life. That's what I want to convey. After the show, people ask me, 'do you really have that much fun?' And I say 'you don't know the half of it. It's even more exhilarating than it looks'." – Kaeshammer

A night with Michael and his band isn't the kind of show where you just sit, watch and applaud politely every now and then. Their goal isn't to intimidate you with the scholarly depth of their music, it's to entertain, inform and include you – A wild ride with no fixed destination except where he feels he and the crowd want to go. On stage and on record it's all about drawing the audience in. That's where the joy is, pure and simple. When Michael steps on stage he'll greet you warmly, as an honoured guest. He'll play a song like 'Rendezvous'. A comfortable start, to showcase his fiery piano chops and make you feel at home – The equivalent of taking your coat and hat and showing you around the place.

"Technically Brilliant and a spectacle...like taking a Ferrari for a drive through winding mountain highways and then going for a gourmet meal. It excites all of your senses," " says CBC Tonic's Tim Tamashiro.

And while joy is something Michael Kaeshammer has never had difficulty expressing, on recordings, the German born, Canadian bred pianist expresses it more enthusiastically than ever. Kaeshammer has released 10 albums to date: Blue Keys (1996), Tell You How I Feel (1998), No Strings Attached (2000), Strut (2003) Days Like These (2007), Lovelight (2009), Kaeshammer (2011), Kaeshammer Live! (2012), With You In Mind (2013) and The Pianist (2015). Kaeshammer has been nominated for 7 Canadian JUNO Awards, winning 2 of them. He has also received two WESTERN CANADIAN MUSIC AWARDS for "Musician of the Year" and "Entertainer of the Year".
