Performer Description
Keith Alessi was neither an actor nor a musician, and his journey to the stage was a highly improbable one.
Keith takes you on the journey of his unique personal story about how music was the catalyst to ultimately saving his life. A heartwarming, true story of transformation, this show is like a homecoming.
When faced with a deadly cancer battle, his musical pursuit took him on a journey that became the key to saving his life.

Showcase Description
Everyone has a story. Your stories matter. The is the message of our show. Keith shares his unconventional true story of overcoming great obstacles including cancer and how the healing power of music brought him back home to himself. Before touring this show in 2018, he was neither a performer or a musician. His show chronicles milestones and challenges he faced and highlights his passion (and talent!) for playing the banjo. Different styles of banjo music and comedy are woven through this inspiring story. In a full show he brings 5-6 different banjos, each of them unique like a character and helps to tell another chapter of the story. Especially because Keith does not come from a "creative" background, as he shares in the show he was an accountant, it has ignited many audiences everywhere we go as a reminder that we all have creativity inside of us and all have stories. It is fun, funny, silly, and upbeat with the ability to pull peoples heartstrings.

Community & Educational Outreach
This is not only a show; it’s a mission-driven endeavour. Keith has dedicated his performances to supporting various charitable causes, with a focus on cancer, community, music, and theatre organizations. To date, the show has impressively raised over $1 Million through donations, including 100% of all artist fees.
We have done extra community outreach that connects to cancer communities or music with healing communities, for example we have doing jams with patients/ families at Wellspring Calgary, and at a paediatric cancer ward (Sophies Place) in the US. We are open to any opportunities that make sense and are in line with the cause of our show. We have also always offered talk backs after our shows where people would want it.
Is an outreach performance included in your mainstage performance fee?
yes. There is no performance fee so it is all outreach performances!
