Best Traditional Roots Album 2025 – JUNO Award Winner

Thrilled to announce that Canadian star Jake Vaadeland and his rockin’ band The Sturgeon River Boys will be coming to Portsmouth as part of their 2026 Autumn tour, and what’s more it’ll be in the beautiful St Lukes Church in Southsea.

All the way from Saskatchewan, Jake Vaadeland and his band, The Sturgeon River Boys, play a unique blend of Bluegrass and 50’s Rockabilly. Jake 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.

“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 any performance into a full-on show!” (Next Magazine)

21 Year Old Vaadeland has had an impressive year as a 2025 JUNO Award Winner (the Canadian equivalent of The Grammys), and making history as the youngest artist to achieve “Road Gold” certification by selling 25,000 tickets in 12 months across Canada solidifying his status as a rising star in the music industry.

“With his innovative compositions and effervescent passion for the genre, Vaadeland makes the case that the bluegrass era is happening right here, right now!” (Star Phoenix)
