One of Saskatchewan’s rising stars on the music scene will perform an outdoor concert at the Sukanen Ship Museum and Pioneer Village in August. The Aug. 10 concert will happen at the 1913 grain elevator— part of his second year performing tour at some of the remaining wooden crib elevators left in Saskatchewan. Raised on a grain farm in the Touchwood Hills. One of his first jobs was to clean dust from the local elevator. Straker’s folk songs cover a range of themes — many of them rural things people have lost or take for granted A song More Than Wood about old elevators is joined with a piece about Prairie skies, and a town that once was full of life, now no longer existing. The list goes on. The long time performer at Kinsmen Telemiracle achieved fame when a song he wrote to celebrate King Charles’ coronation made it to the king “He listened to it. He appreciated it and liked it. ’’ Straker said in a media interview. ”I was was flattered.’’ The song was written for Saskatchewan’s celebration of the coronation ceremony. Straker will perform in September
EXPO 2025 in Osaka Japan. Visitors to the Sukanen concert can also view the heritage village. Lawn chairs should be brought to
the concert. Advance tickets are $22 online on his website, or from the museum. or $25 on show day.
