Old Man Luedecke (CAN)

Canadian folk singer-songwriter, OLD MAN LUEDECKE makes his long-awaited return to Australia this March.

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. On his 2024 album, ‘She Told Me Where to Go’ Luedecke let go of the chains and abandoned his signature old-time Appalachian-based sound… and he went electric!

‘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. There's hopefulness in “Guy Fieri” but “Holy Rain” and “Misfits in Old Clothes” capture the ongoing struggle.

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 in his first Australian tour since early 2019. You won’t be disappointed!
