Event Description

Following the success of last year’s debut holiday tour, Jake Vaadeland is back with a second Goodness Gracious, It’s Christmas! tour—bringing festive cheer, timeless music, and his signature style to venues across Canada once again. The show will feature music from his upcoming Christmas EP, including favourites “Jingle Bell Rock” and “Beautiful Star of Bethlehem,” along with Jake's newest singles "Great Joy & Happiness" & "Everybody Loves My Little Darling". ‘

"Christmas is a special time of year when friends and neighbors come together, and I’m excited to present our Goodness Gracious, It's Christmas Tour once again. Our program will have a little something for everyone, both young and old’"

Jake will once again be joined by his band, The Sturgeon River Boys, whose standout musicianship and stage presence bring an electric, high-spirited energy to every performance.

21-year-old Jake Vaadeland from Cut Knife, Saskatchewan, has had an impressive year as a 2025 JUNO Award winner, and making history as the youngest artist to achieve ‘Road Gold’ Certification by selling 25,000 tickets in 12 months across Canada. Along with his band, The Sturgeon River Boys, Vaadeland embarked on a global tour, performing in the U.K., Spain, Denmark, the U.S., Germany, the Netherlands, and Canada, solidifying his status as a rising star in the music industry.
Jake strives to write and play with a focus on storytelling and messages that his audience can relate to, all packaged in foot stomping, high energy performances. In 2024, the self-taught multi-instrumentalist garnered his first Western Canadian Music Award, showcasing his distinctive fusion of traditional country, 50’s Rockabilly, and Bluegrass. Praised for his electrifying performances, NEXT Magazine hailed his album 'Retro Man … More and More' as an ‘instant classic,’ commending its fresh and authentic old-school country vibe. A gifted storyteller, Jake has captivated audiences globally and earned an impressive 9x Saskatchewan Country Music Awards, along with 3x Saskatchewan Music Awards in his home province.

Recent collaborations include joining platinum selling Canadian country artist Tebey for the release of their single ‘Wake Me Up’ (The Bluegrass Rendition), a cross Canada tour with country supergroup Hunter Brothers, and a U.S. tour with The Dead South. Jake was also invited to perform the Ian Tyson classic ‘Four Strong Winds’ with Noeline Hofmann at the legendary finale performance of the Edmonton Folk Festival, creating a powerful musical moment for thousands of people.
