Jazz and blues pianist Michael Kaeshammer

Michael Kaeshammer and Lynn Thompson had this brief chat in 2007 at the Toronto Jazz Festival, and then Lynn added a weave of his amazing piano ensemble music. In 2021, fans in Ottawa (Ontario Canada) gathered for his return to the stage for the Ottawa Jazz Festival. Earlier on October 29, Michael spoke with host Robyn Bresnahan on CBC Radio's Ottawa Morning. Now he returns to BC for his next performances.

 

Based in British Columbia, pianist and vocalist Michael Kaeshammer has a distinct style that weaves classical, jazz, blues boogie-woogie, stride, and pop into a sought-after sound. He has opened for the vanguards like Ray Charles and Anne Murray and done co-writing with rockers Randy Bachman and Colin James. While the pandemic has delayed the recording sessions and release of his 11th studio album, Lucky Man, Michael has been writing new material and revisiting his previous work, waiting for the day to arrive when he could perform in front of a live audience again.

"I can't wait to share my music with you again. Hope to see you there."
