Jeffery Straker House Concert

Jeffery Straker at Whole Village August 26th!

We so enjoy bringing great singer-songwriters to Whole Village to perform in this intimate setting. Jeffery Straker is among the best!
Singer-songwriter pianist Jeffery Straker grew up taking piano lessons in a small Saskatchewan farming town, raised by a church organist mother and an auctioneer father. He’s gone on to perform over 100 shows per year across Canada and Europe. Serving up a rootsy-storytelling brand of song with rich narratives, his song writing has the ability to transport a listener – out onto a lake in Canada’s North or to the main street of a prairie town. Across 8 albums to date critical comparisons have been drawn to the likes of Harry Chapin, Kris Kristofferson, & Billy Joel while performances have seen him live on BBC radio in the UK, on festival and theatre stages and in concert with symphony orchestras. Named ‘Roots-Folk Artist of the Year’ in consecutive Saskatchewan Music Awards Jeffery has also been honoured with a Western Canadian Music Award. The Saskatchewan Country Music Awards have twice named him keyboard player of the year. In 2022 he performed across the UK, including the Canadian High Commission in London. He connects with audiences wherever he performs and nodding to that, CBC Radio recently said: “Straker 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”. www.jeffstraker.com
