Old Man Luedecke, one of Canada’s best loved and most intriguing roots singer-songwriters is excited to announce his return to the UK in August with a string of live dates. “An original, he is a musical singularity to be savoured and shared’, says the Vancouver folk Festival. His memorable melodies, poetic sense and easy charisma appeal to anyone searching new growth from old roots. Luedecke, who was born in Toronto but made his home in the rich maritime province of Nova Scotia, where his music has been whole heartedly adopted for it’s traditional storytelling folk elements.
Luedecke is a young man with an old soul who doesn’t sugar coat his fears and let’s his songs breath with a bittersweet hopefulness.
Old Man channels a refreshing energy from folk giants like Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger with a hint of ‘Loudon Wainwright III’. But, it is Luedecke’s contemporary lyrics, coupled with the irresistible rhythm of the old-time banjo that make him so loved with his audiences.
In January 2012 Old Man Luedecke travelled to Nashville, Tennessee to record his new album Tender Is The Night set for release in the UK in 2013. Recorded by Tim O’Brien, Nashville based folk music icon, alongside David Ferguson who has engineered nine Johnny Cash albums, as well as U2 and John Prine.
Recently OML teamed up with Canadian band Lake of Stew to release a free EP ‘Sing All About It’. “What names! We were born to be together” says OML. “I got a CD of Lake of Stew and after singing along a few dozen times started listening in to the voices and imagining who they were. The Mini Pops, Glee, pish, this was the group I was born to join.
OML has received great recognition for his works, including Juno Awards (The Canadian Grammy) for albums Proof Of Love and My Hands Are On Fire and Other Love Songs
