A Western Canadian Music “Entertainer of the Year”, VDPAC favourite, and much-loved, globe-trotting multi-award nominee, master pianist and songwriter, Michael Kaeshammer returns with his band to dazzle and delight his many fans.

Michael’s superb 15th album, Turn It Up is broadly described as “eclectic yet accessible jazz-based pop” but more expansive than one simple description - including his audacious treatment of the beloved Queen classic “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” - a bass-boosted anthem that positively soars!

Propelled by her hits Somebody’s Daughter (Music Canada certified Platinum, RIAA certified Gold); and Jersey on the Wall (I’m Just Asking) (Music Canada certified Gold), Tenille has taken home two JUNO Awards, (“Country Album of the Year” 2021 & 2023) —all while building up a globe-spanning fan base irresistibly drawn to her live performances and intensely honest storytelling.

With her many accolades, also including 17 Canadian Country Music Association Awards, (“Entertainer of the Year”; “Female Artist of the Year” 2019-2022; “Album of the Year” for The Lemonade Stand and Masquerades); and two Academy of Country Music Awards, (“New Female Artist of the Year” & “Music Event of the Year”); the now Nashville-based, risen star begins a bold new chapter with her most fully realized work to date: a gorgeously sculpted collection of songs that bring a moodier and more unfettered sound to her compassionate lyrical outpouring.

The Tea Party, the multi-Platinum selling, multi-JUNO Award-nominated, original trio consisting of singer/guitarist/multi-instrumentalist Jeff Martin; bassist and multi-instrumentalist Stuart Chatwood; and drummer/percussionist Jeff Burrows, has returned fresh from their headlining Fall 2025 tour with Headstones and Finger Eleven, celebrating the 25th anniversary of their chart-topping album TRIPtych, (featuring their #1 Single Heaven Coming Down).

Other key tracks include The Messenger, Temptation, Sister Awake, The Bazaar, The River, Psychopomp, Fire In The Head, plus many more. Spotify lists 145,582 – 149,084 monthly listeners, testifying to The Tea Party’s ongoing appeal and staying power.

Since releasing their major-label debut album Splendor Solis in 1993, The Tea Party has come to be regarded as one of the world’s most innovative alternative rock bands, with a sound that incorporates everything from traditional instrumentation from around the globe, to cutting-edge digital technology. Now, after more than 30 years as a band—and over 3million albums sold, The Tea Party is ready to open a new chapter in its saga—a story that remains rooted in the goal to create new, ambitious, and thought-provoking music.

Regarded as a progressive rock band, The Tea Party's style fuses "blues, industrial rock, and psych-blasted progressive rock with Middle Eastern influences." Tuonela magazine described the band's style as "a very emotive style of alternative rock, with hints of grunge and even some touches of oriental music".

Not to be confused with the US political movement, The Tea Party since added the phrase "No politics... Just Rock and Roll" to their website.
