Entertainment
We're pleased to announce that award-winning local musician Jeremy Kneeshaw will be impressing us with his musical stylings at the conference Welcoming Reception.
A songwriter and performer, Jeremy made the leap from a full time Carpenter to Musician in 2015. From early beginnings in piano at the age of 2, music has been his passion for his entire life; playing Guitar, Piano, Drums, Bass, Mandolin, Banjo, Flute, Accordion and more.
Having released his first album at 19, the self titled 'Jeremy Kneeshaw Album' recorded entirely by Jeremy himself, he won the Akedamia Jazz/Funk/Fusion award in November 2016, and was given a spot at the Akedamia Awards Ceremony at the Rosebowl Stadium in LA. Now, he, his duos, and his trio are working to take over the Western Canada and US music scenes to inspire a younger generation of upcoming musicians to follow their passions.
