Biography
After studying classical piano for seven years in his German hometown Offenburg, 13-year-old Kaeshammer discovered boogie-woogie and stride piano as played by Albert Ammons, Meade Lux Lewis, and Pete Johnson. Within three years he was playing jazz & boogie-woogie in clubs, concerts and festivals all over Germany and other surrounding parts of Europe. He attracted attention almost immediately after the family moved to the west coast of Canada, performing at festivals across the country during the summer of 1996.
Since then Michael has released Blue Keys (1996), Tell You How I Feel (1998), No Strings Attached (2000), Strut (2003) Days Like These (2007), Lovelight (2009), Kaeshammer (2011), KaeshammerLIVE! (2012), With You In Mind (2013), The Pianist (2015) and No Filter (2016). Kaeshammer has been nominated for 7 Juno Awards. He has also received the West Coast Music Award for “Musician Of The Year” and “Entertainer Of The Year”.
