Golden Palette Art Show

Golden Palette Art show at Cultus Lake Community Hall - Oct 4, 2025 10am - 3pm
Come and enjoy a cup of tea and nibbles with local artists. Artworks available for purchase.

The Harrison Festival Society will bring the prairie-rooted Canadiana of singer songwriter Jeffery Strker to Harrison Hot Springs Memorial Hall on Friday Oct 3rd.  

Jeffery Straker grew up taking piano lessons in small-town Saskatchewan and has gone on to perform over 100 shows per year across Canada, Europe and Latin America. He was raised by a church-organist mother and an auctioneer father, and swears he was born under the piano on the family grain farm. The rootsy-storytelling of his songs has the power to transport a listener out onto a lake in Canada’s North or to the main street of a prairie town, and he is a personable performer with a warm stage presence. A clever lyricist with an energetic piano style, his song writing has drawn critical comparisons to the likes of Harry Chapin, Kris Kristofferson , Murray McLauchlan &  Billy Joel, while maintaining a style distinctly his own. With 10 albums out to date, he has seen his songs used in film, TV and theatrical productions, and has twice been awarded “Roots/Folk Artist of the Year” at the Saskatchewan Music Awards. The Saskatchewan Country Music Awards have named him ‘Keyboard Player of the Year’ 3 years running.

The show begins at 7:30pm with doors opening at 6:30pm. Tickets for Jefferey Straker can be purchased online at www.harrisonfestival.com, by phone at 604.796.3664 or in person at the Ranger Station Art Gallery in Harrison Hot Springs.
