Jake Vaadeland is a self taught multi-instrumentalist and songwriter from Saskatchewan, Canada. His traditional sound and unique style could be defined as a blend of Bluegrass and 50s 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.

In 2022, Jake received 2 Saskatchewan Music Awards, including Album of the Year for his album Everybody But Me, along with Roots/Folk Artist of the Year. He followed that up in 2023 by once again winning the Roots/Folk Artist of the Year. He was awarded four 2022 Saskatchewan Country Music Awards, including Fans Choice Entertainer of the Year, Songwriter of the Year, Alternative Album of the Year & Emerging Artist of the Year, and again followed up in 2023 by winning the Alternative Album award for the 2nd year in row. Jake was also nominated for Roots/Folk Artist of the Year at the 2023 Western Canadian Music Awards.
