Jeffery Straker @ the Old Church Theatre

$40 in advance, $50 at the door (+service fees and tax) Singer-songwriter pianist Jeffery Straker serves up a rootsy-storytelling brand of song that has been said to transport listeners - out onto a northern lake or to the main street of a prairie town. His most recent recording ‘Great Big Sky’ won a Canadian Folk Music Award & unexpectedly found a fan in none other than his majesty King Charles III. Jeffery was also chosen to represent Canada at Expo ’25 in Osaka Japan last fall. With critical comparisons to the likes of Kris Kristofferson, Murray McLauchlan & Jackson Browne, Straker has twice been named 'Roots-Folk Artist of the Year' in Saskatchewan, has been honoured with a Western Canadian Music Award & the Sask. Country Music Awards have named him ‘Keyboard Player of the Year’ 5 years running. Wherever he performs his audience connections are stand-out as described by CBC Radio who said: “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”.
