The Roots North Music Festival is thrilled to announce internationally-acclaimed pianist, singer, and songwriter Michael Kaeshammer as a 2023 mainstage artist featured at St. Paul’s Centre, Downtown Orillia.
Acclaimed Canadian pianist and singer Michael Kaeshammer has invested a lot – countless hours at the keyboard, hundreds of recordings, thousands of live performances, millions of miles in the air and on the road – all in pursuit of a mastery of 12 notes across 88 keys.
Over the course of decades as a professional performer, Kaeshammer has developed a style that weaves threads of classical, jazz, blues, boogie-woogie, stride, and even pop into a signature and sought-after sonic tapestry.
However, despite all the achievements and accolades – multiple JUNO Awards, the shows on iconic stages with international stars and symphony orchestras, the strings of stellar reviews from major media outlets – Michael Kaeshammer isn’t resting on any laurels; these are merely temporary stops on his journey, and as always, he’s solely focused on reaching the next one, and then the one after that.
Roots North Music Festival Co-Artistic Director, Sarah Duffy said, “Michael Kaeshammer’s signature blend of artistry and storytelling is exactly what the Roots North audience has come to expect and enjoy on our mainstage. It’s going to be an exciting show!”
The Roots North Music Festival is set to return to Downtown Orillia with Michael Kaeshammer featured on the mainstage at St. Paul’s Centre. Weekend pass are available for $65 for two full nights of main stage performances Friday April 21 and Saturday April 22rd, 2023. To purchase tickets and to find out more, go to www.RootsNorthMusic.ca.
