X-WR-CALDESC:Music Series Event\n\nMichael Kaeshammer has invested a lot – 
 countless hours at the keyboard\, hundreds of recordings\, thousands of li
 ve performances\, millions of miles in the air and on the road – all in pu
 rsuit of a mastery of 12 notes across 88 keys.\n\nOver the course of decad
 es as a professional performer\, Kaeshammer has developed a signature blen
 d of classical\, jazz\, blues\, and boogie-woogie with effortless pop hook
 s for a compelling crossover style that’s immediately engaging yet impress
 ively substantial. Born and raised in Germany\, Kaeshammer began performin
 g club\, theatre\, and festival stages throughout Europe in his early teen
 s and continued on that trajectory after emigrating to Canada’s West Coast
  with his family in the mid-‘90s. His first studio album\, Blue Keys\, dro
 pped in 1996 and spurred a consistent sequence of heralded releases and hi
 gh-profile international performances. Through it all\, the world watched 
 as he grew from child prodigy to full-fledged phenom\; from unparalleled p
 ianist to virtuosic singer-songwriter.\n\nThose opportunities have been as
  wide-reaching as the 7x JUNO Award nominee’s subsequent breadth of style\
 , and include: opening slots for the likes of Ray Charles and Anne Murray\
 ; stints backing singers like Marva Wright\, the late blues queen of New O
 rleans\; recording sessions with rockers Randy Bachman and Colin James\; o
 fficial Olympic Games performances in several world cities\; dozens of pre
 stigious awards and nominations\; and revered TV spots\, including 2020’s 
 highly-praised PBS special Boogie On The Blues Highway and his latest seri
 es: a cooking show on B.C.’s CHEK TV.\n\nMany of those experiences have al
 so helped to hone his skills as a vocalist and lyricist to the point that 
 Kaeshammer is now pushing firmly into the realm of pop crossover as exempl
 ified with his latest collection\, Turn It Up. Expected in the Spring of 2
 023\, the 10-track collection finds Kaeshammer building on his mastery of 
 the keyboard with deft and dynamic tinges of modern pop. The result is sim
 ultaneously his most ambitious and accessible offering to date\, its songs
  and stories both instantly engaging yet deserving of a deep\, disarming d
 ive. Fans will soon get to enjoy more fruits from that harvest as Kaeshamm
 er prepares his return to the road with a string of highly anticipated per
 formances across Canada and the U.S. to close out 2022\, followed by a tou
 r of Germany in the spring of 2023.
