Michael Kaeshammer

Presented by Sunfest About this Event Doors at 7:00pm Music at 8:00pm Michael Kaeshammer isn t so much a piano player as a piano whisperer, a master musician and songwriter able to coax dazzling, kaleidoscopic sounds from his instrument in a way few can rival. That gift powers Turn It Up, Kaeshammer s superb 15th album, broadly described as eclectic yet accessible jazz-based pop though, as with all Kaeshammer s music, far more expansive than one simple description can possibly illustrate. Across a brilliant, globe-trotting career highlighted by nine tours of China, three appearances at the Olympics, and countless shows opposite international superstars, the German-born, B.C.-based Kaeshammer has electrified audiences with his indelible repertoire and consistently positive outlook onlife which infuses his lyrics. I am a very positive person, confirms the seven-time JUNO Award nominee and unabashed foodie, who hosts cooking show Kaeshammer s Kitchenon Vancouver Island s CHEK TV. I really love playing shows and being on-stage. If Turn It Up helps me to do more of that, then I m all in. Music is my favourite thing to do.
