A holiday-themed evening with Saskatchewan’s own award-winning singer-songwriter pianist Jeffery Straker & band. Bring a friend, wear an 'ugly' Christmas sweater, and get into the festive spirit. Classic and contemporary Christmas songs, story-telling and maybe even an audience sing-along. Sold-out 4 years running at the Casino Regina Show Lounge. "Some of my favourite memories of Christmas when I was growing up on the farm, are about the music. People gathered around the piano, singing carols late into the evening with a glass of cheer. I hope to bring a bit of that musical Christmas magic to the stage with this concert".

The Wardens don’t just sing about the land, they’re part of it. The Rocky Mountain-based band’s stories and songs rise from the very land they’ve protected as Canadian national park wardens. With haunting three-part harmonies and chilling tales, the band’s mountain music - blending folk, roots and western styles " reflects Canada's protected wilderness areas. Celebrating the return of wild buffalo, wrangling grizzly bears, lonely nights on the packtrail and reflecting on an environment in crisis, a performance by The Wardens has been dubbed "the quintessential mountain-culture concert experience."
