Singer-songwriter and pianist Jeffery Straker serves up a rootsy-storytelling brand of song that transports his listeners — out onto a northern Canadian Lake or to the main street of a prairie town! With critical comparisons to the likes of Kris Kristofferson, Jackson Browne, and Murray McLauchlan, Straker won the 2025 Canadian Folk Music Award for ‘Contemporary Canadian Folk Singer of the Year’ , and back at home in Saskatchewan, he’s twice been named 'Roots-Folk Artist of the Year'. Straker released his ninth recording “Great Big Sky” in 2024. Steeped in themes of the Canadian prairies and deeply proud of his roots, he debuted the album with a series of unique performances in grain elevators across Saskatchewan. Wherever Straker performs, his audience connections are a stand-out with CBC Radio saying: “He has a way of drawing us into his world and making us feel like we’re an old friend he’s ready to catch up with”
