Jeffery Straker
Jeffery Straker is a prairie-born, classically trained pianist and singer-songwriter whose rootsy, storytelling songs have a way of carrying listeners out onto a northern lake or down the main street of a small Saskatchewan town. With energetic, piano-driven folk/roots tunes, clever lyrics, and warm, conversational stage banter, he’s drawn comparisons to the likes of Billy Joel, Kris Kristofferson, and Harry Chapin while touring 100+ shows a year across Canada, Europe, Latin America, and beyond. A multiple Saskatchewan Music Award “Roots/Folk Artist of the Year” and Western Canadian Music Award winner whose songs have appeared on CBC and in film and theatre, Straker brings a heartfelt, big-sky piano show to New Moon Folk Club that feels both cinematic and beautifully down-to-earth.
