"Jeffery Straker" Show time 7:30 pm
"Jeffery swears he was born under the piano on the family farm"
Singer songwriter Jeffery Straker comes to SFG. Hailing from Saskatchewan, he performs over 100 shows each year, in Canada, and has toured internationally to Mexico, Chile, and Peru, (where he has a Latin American following). He has recorded for "Canada Live" on CBC radio, has been featured in film, tv, and theatre. His folk-pop hooks and rootsy story-telling have been featured in film, TV, and theatrical productions
Jeffery's latest album
"Dirt Road Confessional" was released May 2017. The12-song collection is centered around themes of a musician's life on the road constantly taking the traveler away from 'familiarity', juxtaposed against themes of the human desire for stability, longing for love, and lasting relationships, (that sounds good).
Straker regularly draws comparisons to Harry Chapin, Kris Kristofferson, Jackson Browne and a young Billy Joel but on Dirt Road Confessional his personal storytelling style stands out distinctly as his own. Don't be late for this show.

"Rio Samaya" Showtime 7.30pm
"Rio Samaya" aka "Pancho and Sal"
are partners both in life and in music, who join forces to perform a blend of original songs, and covers of folk, rhumba and world favourites. With Pancho leading on the guitar, ukulele or harmonica and Sal playing accordion, bombo or shakers, the group has something for everybody, no matter where you are from. Their music is authentic, distinctive, refreshing and uplifting... savouring the flavour of Latin rhythms and melodies, Rio Samaya delivers original and timeless treats from around the world.
Drawing on music from their constant world travels have brought a whole new experience to their act, not only with the newly added songs, but with many new stories to tell the audience during the show. You get the real sensation of travelling the world without moving from your seat. Wow!!

"Gary Poole" Showtime 7.30pm
Gary Poole is a songwriter with an eye and ear for the journeys of our lives. His songs explore a world that is sometimes wildly complex and sometimes beautifully simple. In the early stages of his career, Gary was a creative force behind the group Marilyn, Hudson, Carr and Poole, writing their hit singles
"For Today" and "Is it any wonder?"
Today, Gary is writing and performing with the same passion that defined him back then. His latest writing, featured in the collection "Songs for a Curious World", runs the full gamut from grandchildren to the nature of truth in today's world. A Steveston native, Gary always loves to return to the Guild, and we are pleased to have him back.
