Blues, jazz, and r&b are all part of the palette that colour Jack de
Keyzer's musical portraits. The much acclaimed guitarist, singer, song writer and producer
has worked with artists as varied as King Biscuit Boy, Etta James, Blue Rodeo, Bo
Diddley, Robert Gordon, Otis Rush and the Bop Cats. His guitar playing has been featured
on hundreds of recordings. As a song writer he has been covered by Prairie Oyster on their
hit album Everyone Knows , and as a singer he once sang a duet with kd lang. (Alright...
it was a Budweiser commercial...) As an entertainer he has worked his magic to an ecstatic
audience of 25,000 at the Montreal Jazz Festival and an equally ecstatic audience of 250
at Hugh's Room in Toronto, where his Silver Blues CD and DVD were recorded. He performs
internationally over 150 shows per year, most recently at Blues Sur Seine in France.
7X Maple Blues and 2003 Juno Award winning artist Jack de Keyzer is a masterful, jazz
infused electric blues guitarist, soulful singer and eclectic song writer of the first
