21-year-old Jake Vaadeland from Cut Knife, Saskatchewan, has had an impressive year as a 2025 Juno Award nominee, and making history as the youngest artist to achieve ‘Road Gold’ Certification by selling 25,000 tickets in 12 months across Canada. Along with his band, The Sturgeon River Boys, Vaadeland embarked on a global tour, performing in the U.K., Spain, Denmark, the U.S., Germany, the Netherlands, and Canada, solidifying his status as a rising star in the music industry. 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.

Praised for his electrifying performances, NEXT Magazine hailed his album 'Retro Man … More and More' as an ‘instant classic,’ commending its fresh and authentic old-school country vibe. A gifted storyteller, Jake has captivated audiences globally and earned an impressive 9x Saskatchewan Country Music Awards, along with 3x Saskatchewan Music Awards in his home province.
