Canadian folk singer-songwriter, OLD MAN LUEDECKE returns to Australia this summer. Old Man Luedecke is one of Canada’s best loved and most intriguing roots singer-songwriters. Known for his masterful banjo playing, he was born and raised in Toronto and now lives rurally on the south shore of Nova Scotia. With a storyteller’s heart, his narrative-driven songs are playful, coy and soul-warming; his music appeals to anyone looking for new growth from old roots. His 2024 album, ‘She Told Me Where to Go’ garnered wide critical acclaim and was awarded Best Folk Album at the East Coast Music Awards. ‘She Told Me Where to Go’ is a journey through the darkness and light of mid-life. The songs wrestle, long form, with the value of an artist in a time when music is ingested in fifteen second increments. Old Man Luedecke is a 2-time JUNO and multi-East Coast Music award winner and Polaris Prize nominee. Equally at home on festival main stages, in theatres, or in living rooms, his honesty and charisma allow him to connect effectively with his audiences. Come and welcome Old Man Luedecke back to our shores. You won’t be disappointed!
