Blues, jazz, funky r&b and swing are all part of the palette that colour Jack de Keyzer’s musical portraits.  The much acclaimed guitarist, singer and song writer has worked with artists as varied as King Biscuit Boy, Etta James, Blue Rodeo, 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.

An eight time 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 order.  Of note, his latest CD, Blues Thing includes “That’s The Only Time” that earned deKeyzer first place in Nashville’s International Songwriting Competition, (blues category)!
