The Kipling and District Arts Council is pleased to bring Jake Vaadeland and his band, the Sturgeon River Boys, to the Kipling Community Centre on Jan. 12, 2024.
Jake Vaadeland is a self-taught multi-instrumentalist and songwriter from Saskatchewan. His traditional sound and unique style could be defined as a blend of bluegrass and 1950's rockabilly, with Vaadeland also specializing in guitar and banjo along with impressive vocals.
Vaadeland strives to write and play with a focus on storytelling and messages that he hopes his audience can relate to, all packaged in foot-stomping, high-energy performances with The Sturgeon River Boys. You can listen to their music on YouTube or by visiting www.jakevaadeland.com.
Vaadeland has received multiple awards, including Roots/Folk Artist of the Year and Album of the Year at the Saskatchewan Music Awards in 2022, and Fans' Choice Entertainer of the Year, Songwriter of the Year, Alternative Country Album of the Year and Emerging Artist of the Year at the Saskatchewan Country Music Awards in 2022.
Just recently, he received Roots/Folk Artist of the Year at the 2023 Saskatchewan Music Awards held in Saskatoon.
“Vaadeland proceeds to charm, cajole and chuckle, the kind of fella people want to take home and serve a slice of pie. His gorgeous singing, stellar band and committed showmanship turn a performance into a full-on show," wrote Next Magazine.
Enjoy the evening in Kipling to see Vaadeland's take on the Grand Ole Opry of the 1950s that includes bluegrass, old-school country and a bit of rock and roll.
The doors will open at 6:30 p.m. and the show will begin an hour later.
