The Tinkling of Ivories in Hilton Beach

The Old Town Hall Concert Series in beautiful Hilton Beach, Ontario has been attracting high-calibre musicians to the area for many years. On Wednesday, August 18, 2004, the series will be presenting the Michael Kaeshammer Trio

Still in his mid-20s, Michael Kaeshammer is one of the most exciting pianists in the country. Kaeshammer has released a series of award-winning and critically acclaimed recordings. A large international following has since developed due to his prowess as a live performer.

Kaeshammer is known for his "hip, well-crafted originals" as much as he is for his skill at playing traditional piano styles: boogie-woogie, ragtime, funk-inspired bebop, romantic ballads, and modern jazz.

Kaeshammer, who is also known for his cheeky sense of humour, performs with two seasoned players with depth, soul, and passion. A Juno Award nominee and multi-West Coast Music Award winner, Kaeshammer's latest CD is entitled, "Strut."

The concert series takes place at the Hilton Beach Community Hall, a venue with a seating capacity of 300. For more details on this performance or other in the series, call 705-246-0055 or [email protected].
