Old Man Luedecke isn’t afraid to put his neck on the line. His latest album, Tender Is The Night, goes beyond his beloved solo, banjo-driven folk tunes. Driving a Nashville band from beginning to end with his recognizable voice, this is an artist honing his cunning lyrical flair – tenderly pushing the boundaries of his storytelling with his unique mix of folk, bluegrass and pop hooks. Old Man Luedecke has a penchant for language. Based in Chester, Nova Scotia, the award-winning roots singer-songwriter’s latest album, Tender Is The Night, gives nod to F.R. Scott Fitzgerald’s famous novel, a title lifted from John Keats poem, Ode To A Nightingale. With skilful precision and a storyteller’s heart, Luedecke’s narrative-driven folk songs are playful, coy, and soul-warming. Rich in metaphor, heart and instrumentation, Tender Is The Night muses on love, art and purpose. After touring the globe, winning multiple JUNO Awards, and becoming a father to twin girls, Luedecke has finally found confidence in himself and his art. Tender Is The Night is a balancing act; a collection of songs artfully crafted and tenderly performed.
