Jeffery Straker

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. With critical comparisons to the likes of Kris Kristofferson, Murray McLauchlan & Billy Joel he’s twice been named 'Roots-Folk Artist of the Year' in the Saskatchewan Music Awards, has been honoured with a Western Canadian Music Award & the Sask. Country Music Awards have named him ‘Keyboard Player of the Year’ 4 years running. Straker released his prairie-themed 9th recording "Great Big Sky" in 2024. Winning a Canadian Folk Music Award for ‘Contemporary Folk Singer of the Year’, the album also found a fan in none other than his majesty King Charles III and saw Jeffery chosen by Canada’s National Arts Centre to perform at Expo ’25 in Osaka Japan.
In concert, Straker’s story-ballads and high energy toe-tappers have become something that listeners want more of. Many return to his shows for his heart-warming banter & audience interaction shared with his keen sense of humour.
