For almost 3 decades, Brian Neale has been bringing the sounds of the islands to his fans across the US, Canada, Germany, Austria, the Dominican Republic, Barbados, Australia, New Zealand and Denmark.

Professionally trained in both music and voice, he began his career as a solo artist performing both his own material and the the music of artists such as Jimmy Buffett and The Eagles.

In 2003 he brought together a group of like minded musicians to form Northern Harbour and he has been inviting his audience to dream of the sun on their backs and sand between their toes ever since.

A highly trained actor, he has starred in countless productions in Canada and abroad and has worked or performed with a diverse range of entertainers such as Jim Vallance, Jimmy Buffett and Al Harlow.

With two albums to his credit, he has a solid following who come to hear him play live and dream of the ocean washing away their cares.

Whether you are planning a special event and are looking for a band that does more than just ‘play the covers’ or you are looking for a mini escape and attend one of his regular concerts, Brian Neale and Northern Harbour will have you dancing barefoot from that first strum of his guitar. Canada’s Jimmy Buffett Margaritaville Party Band.

JefferyStraker – Bio

Singer-songwriter pianist Jeffery Straker serves up a rootsy-storytelling brand of song that has been said to transport listeners – out onto a northern Canadian Lake or to the main street of a prairie town.  With critical comparisons to the likes of Kris Kristofferson, Jackson Browne and Murray McLauchlan, he was awarded the 2025 Canadian Folk Music Award for ‘Contemporary Canadian Folk Singer of the Year’.  Back at home in Saskatchewan he’s twice been named ‘Roots-Folk Artist of the Year’.  Straker released his ninth recording “Great Big Sky” in 2024 – steeped with themes of the Canadian prairies.  AmericanaUK praised it saying “With emotional and sonic depth, this is an album we’d thoroughly recommend”. Some additional unexpected praise came in the form of royal recognition from His Majesty King Charles III who was moved by a song on the album after it made its way into Buckingham Palace. The King’s message to Straker made the national news.

Performances of the new recording have taken Jeffery to listeners across Canada (including shows inside prairie grain elevators!) and he was also chosen to represent the nation in a week-long residency performing in Osaka Japan at Expo 2025.  Wherever he performs his audience connections are stand-out and CBC Radio has said: “He has a way of drawing us into his world and making us feel like we’re an old friend he’s ready to catch up with”.
