Royal Wood & Jeffrey Straker

Singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer Royal Wood has established himself as a true musical talent. Since being proclaimed “Songwriter of the Year” by iTunes, Wood has continued to evolve and hone his musical craft – maintaining an unmistakable identity while uncovering and reinventing his sound. His eighth and latest album, What Tomorrow Brings, delivers the perfect soundtrack for those who recognize the beauty found in the unknown.

Jeffery Straker grew up taking piano lessons in small-town Saskatchewan and has gone on to perform hundreds of shows per year across Canada, Europe and Latin America.  The rootsy-storytelling of his songs has the power to transport a listener – out onto a lake in Canada’s North or to the main street of a prairie town. A clever lyricist with an energetic piano style, his song writing has drawn critical comparisons to the likes of Harry Chapin, Kris Kristofferson and Billy Joel, while maintaining a style distinctly his own. His most recent musical offering, Just Before Sunrise, is a reflection on evolution and optimism and lessons learned.
