Bio / Background
In banjo songster tradition, Old Man Luedecke sings his songs accompanied only by his inspired clawhammer playing and his stomping foot. But for "Hinterland" he branches out sonically yet keeps a spare pallet to let the songs breathe and stand on their own. "Hinterland" features the fiddling of Halifax Irish session whiz Laura Federson, Halifax scene celebreties drunk in a midnight choir, the best example of a 21st century Kazoo solo by fellow troubadour Petunia, the haunting harmony of indie superstar Ruth Minnikin (Guthries, Heavy Blinkers) and the stunning Weissenborn of Steve Dawson. "Hinterland" was recorded in just a few breezy sessions at Steve Dawson's portable Hen House Studio in Whistler BC and at Halifax's indie temple Ultramagnetic Recording studios (Joel Plaskett, Matt Mays, Buck 65).
Old Man Luedecke keeps up a steady touring schedule, whether doing solo gigs, blending his act in with a bill at indie rock shows, or in front of huge beaming festival audiences.
