Performance Notes

Saskatchewan singer-songwriter pianist Jeffery Straker serves up rootsy storytelling songs that have been said to transport listeners: out onto a northern lake or to the main street of a prairie town. Award-winning piano playing infused with elements of country underscores messages of hope, inclusivity, the passing of time and a fondness for his prairie home.

With critical comparisons to the likes of Murray McLauchlan & Kris Kristofferson Jeffery performs over 100 shows each year and released his ninth recording “Great Big Sky” in 2024. AmericanaUK praised it saying “With emotional and sonic depth, Great Big Sky is an album we’d thoroughly recommend”. The album saw Jeffery win a 2025 Canadian Folk Music Award for ‘Contemporary Canadian Folk Singer of the Year’.

The album has seen him perform across Canada, in Nashville Tennessee, the UK and Ireland. Continuing to reach audiences in unique ways, last fall Jeffery was invited by CBC radio’s “The Current” to perform in a live national radio broadcast out of Saskatoon. He’s also been picked by the National Arts Centre to represent Canada in a week-long residency performing in Osaka Japan at Expo 2025. In an unexpected series of events, he gained a new fan in King Charles III in 2024 when a copy of ‘Great Big Sky’ made its way into Buckingham Palace.

Several years ago Jeffery nicknamed Moose Jaw’s Mae Wilson Theatre ‘The Carnegie Hall of Saskatchewan”. He’s looking forward to returning to the beautiful theatre for this show.
