Doors open at 6:30 PM. Open Stage starts at 7:30 PM.

Jake has been indulging his musical habit for more than fifty years now, mostly as a performer, but also in various capacities as a producer and sound engineer. He is known as both a solo singer-guitarist and as a multi-instrumentalist who has performed in a diverse range of ensembles, working at venues all across Canada. For several years, Jake booked the feature entertainment for the Victoria Folk Music Society, and he was active in concert production for the Whistling Gypsy Center for Community Music and the Getting Higher Choir in Victoria. At the Filberg Festival in Comox, Jake has been the performing host of the Great Canadian Songs Concert since 2004. The idea behind this panel concert came about in recognition of the fact that we go to �folk� festivals, and yet we seldom hear the songs that got us interested in folk music in the first place. This concert focuses on those songs from such greats as Joni Mitchell, Gordon Lightfoot, Buffy Ste. Marie, Stan Rogers, Ian Tyson, and all of the rest of the truly great Canadian songwriters who have been able to set our Canadian lives to words and music.
