Fábio Porchat makes his Winnipeg debut with Histórias do Porchat, a comedy packed with hilarious tales from his adventures around the globe. The show has toured over 33 cities in Brazil and more than 10 countries, delighting more than 500,000 spectators. Following multiple sold-out performances in Toronto, Vancouver, and London, Ontario in 2025, Porchat now brings his hit show to new audiences across Canada.

Something magical happens when Michael Kaeshammer sits at the piano. Sure, like all pianists, he plays 12 notes across 88 keys. But the musician and songwriter coaxes dazzling, kaleidoscopic sounds from his instrument in a way few can rival. 

So, it’s no surprise that Turn It Up — Kaeshammer’s towering 15th album — is superb, a dynamic, rollicking collection though one stubbornly resistant to a single, catchall genre. “Eclectic yet accessible jazz-based pop” might come closest to the mark, but it doesn’t quite capture it all. Like his sprawling record collection, which houses everything from AC/DC to Erik Satie, Kaeshammer’s songs reflect his boundless appreciation of music in whatever form it takes. 

Across a brilliant, globe-trotting career highlighted by nine tours of China, three appearances at the Olympics, and countless shows opposite international superstars, the German-born, B.C.-based Kaeshammer has electrified audiences with his indelible repertoire and consistently positive outlook on life which infuses his lyrics. “I am a very positive person,” confirms the seven-time JUNO Award nominee and unabashed foodie, who hosts cooking show Kaeshammer’s Kitchen on Vancouver Island’s CHEK TV. “I really love playing shows and being on-stage. If Turn It Up helps me to do more of that, then I’m all in. Music is my favourite thing to do.”

The Australian virtuoso recently described as ‘the finest guitar player of this generation,’ has

been selling out concerts around the globe — and in the spring of 2026, he’ll bring his now-famed

live show to intimate venues across Western Canada!

“Do whatever it takes to get in the front row!” – Rhythms Magazine, Australia

“A generational talent that must be seen to be believed.” – Roots Magazine, UK

Don’t miss your chance to see live music at its finest!

Daniel Champagne lives and breathes music. Playing upwards of 250 concerts around the world

each year, he is as loved globally as he is in his homeland of Australia. His signature guitar style

and formidable stage show have garnered accolades and dedicated fans worldwide.

Growing up in the Bega Valley on the Far South Coast of New South Wales, the story goes that

the young artist first picked up his instrument of choice at age five, following in the footsteps of

his musical father. He began writing songs at twelve, trained classically throughout his teens, and

performed wherever he could — honing his craft and developing the electric live show that he is

renowned for today. At eighteen, he finished school, turned professional, and hit the road without

looking back.

The following eighteen years have seen him release seven studio albums, sell out concerts across

the globe, play some of the biggest festivals under the sun, and share stages with the likes of

Tommy Emmanuel, INXS, John Butler, Lucinda Williams, Ani DiFranco, Judy Collins, and

Rodrigo y Gabriela.

Expect jaw-dropping guitar skills, songs that carry the heart away, and the stories of a troubadour

that will stay with you long after the last note rings out — a Daniel Champagne show is not just a

concert, it’s an experience.

WHAT THE PRESS SAY

“The word ‘prodigy’ seems to entirely fall short of this soft-spoken young man’s skills. He coaxes

sounds and melodies out of his instrument that literally drop jaws.” – The Calgary Herald, Canada

“Today I saw the future of folk — festival-goers flocking in the thousands towards the main stage

to witness a young musical phenomenon from Australia dish out an absolute show-stopper.” –

The Firefly Column, USA

“A generational talent.” – Roots Magazine, UK

“Daniel Champagne is a crossroads, fusing the strong traditions of blues, folk, and other roots art

with pop showmanship and admirable lyrical ability. I firmly believe that he will become an

ambassador for roots music in a time where it desperately needs representation.” – The Indie

Blender, Canada

“Reinventing roots guitar.” – Rhythms Magazine, Australia

“Watching Daniel Champagne perform is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. He is a true prodigy

who plays like no one else could possibly play unless they spent at least two lifetimes studying

the art.” – BW Review, New Zealand

“Daniel Champagne exudes a natural ease on stage, as he sings poignant lyrics and beautifully

crafted melodies that invariably carry the heart with grand romanticism. Coupled with an

exhilarating guitar talent that transcends mere acoustic playing to replicate a whole band,

Champagne is simply magical.” – TheMusic, Australia

“You feel as if he just invented the instrument yesterday and was discovering its possibilities

afresh.” – Ted Gioia, American jazz critic and music
