Singer-songwriter-pianist Jeffery Straker performs over 100 shows per
year across Canada. He recently recorded for CBC radio’s ‘Canada Live’,
and had a music video rise to the top 10 (#6) on Canada’s Much More
Music. His album ‘Step Right Up’ was the #5 selling album in his
home-land of Saskatchewan in August 2010, ahead of both Justin Bieber
and Lady Gaga. He’s sure neither of them cared. But he is sure that he,
in fact, did. He launched a new album in 2011, ‘under the soles of my
shoes’, and toured Canada in support of it with shows ranging from
intimate house concerts to a sold-out orchestral debut with the full
Regina Symphony Orchestra (Oct 2011). His songs have played on both CBC
and commercial radio.
