Vinta’s musical inspiration starts with cherry-picked gems from European traditional music\, breathing new energy into old tunes with creative\, dynamic ensemble arrangements and brilliant musicianship. Their original compositions build on this foundation\, creating a seamless body of work that is delightfully joyful and irresistibly moving. \nSince formally joining forces in 2020\, word has spread quickly and kept Vinta busy with performances at the Mariposa Folk Festival\, Gatineau Hills Fiddle Festival\, Campbell Bay Music Fest\, Algoma Trad\, Blue Skies Music Festival\, Summerfolk Festival\, LeGrand Bal du Quebec\, Guelph Jazz Festival in addition to touring France\, Belgium and Germany.

Eventually\, the work of fellow Saskatchewan native Joni Mitchell prompted him to begin writing his own material. Since 2006 Jeffery has recorded 10 albums while touring extensively in Canada\, Europe\, Latin America and Japan. His music was featured in a November 2024 live-from-Saskatoon broadcast of CBC Radio’s The Current. Most recently Jeffery was honoured as Contemporary Folk Singer of the Year at the 2025 Canadian Folk Music Awards. \nAn engaging entertainer\, Jeffery is a talented and effervescent singer-songwriter pianist whose performances often draw comparisons with some of the finest musicians of that genre such as Harry Chapin\, Murray McLauchlan\, Billy Joel & Elton John. A clever lyricist and deft pianist with an innate sense of melody\, this is a gifted Folk/Roots storyteller with enduring prairie roots. \nCLICK HERE for more information and videos. \nTickets are available at TicketsPlease.ca \nThanks to the generous support of the Ontario Arts Council we are able to offer a $20 discount to those 30 and under\, and if they wish\, an additional $20 discount for their “guest” of any age. \nRegular – 31 years & older: $30 plus fees\nDiscount Single – 30 years & under: $10 plus fees\nDiscount Pair – 30 years & under with guest of any age (2 tickets): $20 plus fees \nFunding support provided by the Ontario Arts Council and the Government of Ontario URL:https://meraschoolhouse.org/event/jeffery-straker-the-great-big-sky-tour/ CATEGORIES:Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://meraschoolhouse.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Jeffrey-Stalker-Oct-26-2025.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
