Michael Kaeshammer November 1, 2016


When Michael Kaeshammer moved to Victoria from Germany with his family at the age of 18, he immediately earned a reputation as a musical enfant terrible. He played often at the Fernwood Inn and the Gorge Pointe Pub, thunderously navigating boogie-woogie’s treacherous bass lines with dinner-plate-sized hands, quoted Adrian Chamberlain from Victoria's Times Colonist.

The prolific Vancouver Island-based singer/songwriter/pianist/producer has earned a loyal international following as a triple threat. He’s a piano virtuoso with a technical mastery of many different styles, an eloquent singer/songwriter, and a charming and engaging performer.

On "No Filter", released September 16th of this year, Michael mixes his well-crafted and melodic original songs with a couple of evocative piano instrumentals, and the result is a delightfully varied collection.
Kaeshammer has completely come to terms with his eclectic taste in music, something showcased on the record.“The songs here are just things I wanted to write,” he explains. “If they sound as if they have been influenced by a lot of different things, then that is just the way it is. To me, it just sounds like my music.”

On "No Filter", Michael takes the listener on a highly entertaining journey through refreshingly diverse musical terrain. It begins, fittingly enough, with “Letter From the Road”, a buoyant and upbeat romp with exuberant horns and Michael in top boogie-woogie form. “Nothing Seems To Reach You” has rich dynamics via the combination of horns, organ and backing vocals, and it also showcases Michael’s smooth and soulful voice.
