Kamile Kapel Live - Original Songs
BIOGRAPHY
"Raw, funny & touching..."
Kamile Kapel is a singer-songwriter and "edutainer" from Vancouver, Canada who combines music, comedy and personal growth in a unique show that will enliven the crowd. Whether singing about throwing her phone in the ocean in order to get in touch with her "muse","flourishing like a flower in the forest", or feeling "all washed up and taken to the cleaners" after anti-ageing treatments, audiences will find themselves laughing and relating. Her soulful alto voice draws comparisons to Sade and Natalie Merchant while her sensual, comedic style is reminiscent of Bette Midler. A multi-instrumentalist, Kamile performs solo on a pro arranger keyboard with hip beats and high quality sounds as well as on acoustic guitar. She is often backed up by lifetime guitarist Andrew Butler who sings harmonies that make her songs "shimmer." Andrew and Kamile also sing in a duo called "Shimmer" that covers number one classic lounge and dance tunes. With roots in classical and jazz piano, Kamile has studied music and songwriting extensively at VCC in Vancouver and at the Musicians Institute in LA. She also completed SFU's acting program and she went to clown school. Her artistic journey has taken her from performing experimental theatre in New York to creating and starring in her one-woman show, "Give Me That Map," which received critical acclaim at The Chutzpah Festival. Her travels in India and California inspired her debut album, "Kiss the Ground", featuring songs influenced by Rumi and her own spiritual quest. Kamile leads an ongoing songwriting group and leads workshops that combine her concerts with connection exercises in the Vancouver area.

Comedy & Improvisation
"Shimmer Duo" - Cover Songs
"A duo that sounds like a band", Shimmer was born on a beach in Vancouver, Canada where Andrew & Kamile were brought together by their shared love of music and the shimmering ocean. Kamile & Andrew perform classic feel-good cover tunes with a few originals sprinkled in. They take turns singing lead with harmonies that "shimmer." Kamile plays a keyboard with midi sounds and beats while Andrew plays acoustic and electric guitar, Some songs are accompanied by tracks for that full band sound. Andrew Butler, a lifetime guitarist/vocalist, and music producer since 1976, knows six hundred classic covers and has a passion for playing songs that get people singing, dancing and feeling good.
