Biography

Vocalist Jeffrey Allan Sawatzky was born and raised in Saskatchewan, Canada. He studied voice in both Winnipeg and Toronto.

 

Jeff received national recognition from the Canadian Gospel Music Association at the 2009 Covenant Awards where his debut CD 'Fields of Gold' was named the Classical/Traditional Album of the Year. This collection of original romantic ballads and inspirational classics sung in English, Italian and Spanish has been recorded entirely in Saskatchewan with an outstanding group of musicians including guitar virtuoso Jack Semple and members of the Regina Symphony Orchestra.

As a lifelong Rider fan, Jeff is proud to be the official national anthem singer for the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

Jeff has performed leading theatrical roles - from Carousel to Camelot - and continues to delight audiences in concert with his lifelong duet partner, soprano Evie Koop Sawatzky. This talented couple is raising their family here in the prairies while continuing to tour and share their voices at home and abroad.


Jeff's belief that song is truly meant to touch people is what is at the heart of his performances.
