Interview and Songs: CHAB radio 800 Sat/Sun 6pm

March 3, 2007

If you’re in Southern Saskatchewan listen in to CHAB 800 AM (out of Moose Jaw) this Sat and Sun night at 6pm (Mar 3&4). Lori Dean interviewed me for her half hour weekend show. She’s going to spin a few songs from my last album “Songs from Highway 15″ AND excitingly she’s going to be giving the radio debut to a brand new Straker-song ‘Flat Lines’. I’m really excited to ‘birth’ this song to radio! It was really well received on my US tour and is the flavour that my new album is going to take.
You can listen to it on MYSPACE!!

Regina house concert this Sat Mar 3rd - a few seats left!

March 1, 2007

Here’s a great opportunity to hear some brand new songs this Sat night (Mar 3rd-7:30pm) - performed on a beautiful piano by myself and backed by my sister Jill. It’s a house concert! If you’ve never been to one, it works like this - a host invites people into their home for an intimate evening of experiencing music up close like never before. You can bring a drink, a snack and settle in for the show. There’s a donation of $10 that goes to the musicians. It’s an excellent experience. I’ve done quite a few of these and love doing them. Let me know if you’re interested! (info@jeffstraker.com) It’ll be the most intimate show I’ve ever done in Regina. Only a few seats left and we’d love to fill them!
