Jeffery Straker’s ‘Prairie Skyscraper Concerts’

The Horizon grain elevator becomes a concert hall

Back by popular demand! Saskatchewan’s own award-winning singer-songwriter pianist Jeffery Straker is set to perform another series of concerts in prairie grain elevators this summer.

Departing Ogema, you’ll arrive by train at the historic 1922 Federal grain elevator in Horizon. The concert in this unique rural heritage setting will feature many of Jeffery’s songs including some from his latest album “Great Big Sky”, that won a 2025 Canadian Folk Music Award. Last year’s attendees learned that the acoustics in this old elevator are quite fantastic.

Jeffery was recently featured performing in a national broadcast on CBC Radio’s “The Current”, and he found a new fan in His Majesty King Charles III after his latest album (somehow) made its way into Buckingham Palace and was hand delivered to the King. Straker was also chosen to represent Canada performing at Expo ’25 in Osaka, Japan last summer. And now he’s here in the grain elevator in Horizon. All aboard!
