NEWS: Old Man Luedecke Announces “Tender Is The Night” Album Release Show On November 2nd At St. Matthew’s Church.
Two time JUNO Award winner from Nova Scotia signs to True North for 5th full length album, produced by Grammy Award winner Tim O’Brien.

“Tender Is The Night” comes out October 2nd.
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
skillful 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.
“I
am running like everyone else. Laughing just to keep from crying. I am
always trying to find a way to express,” says Luedecke. “I am a prisoner
for my appreciation for language; language that moves me is language
that is unusual. I feel like it’s an important thing I can contribute to
songwriting.”
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.
“The
songs are about a variety of topics, a meditation on art and ambition
is present in a lot of what I do. Art and whether there is spiritual
success without worldly success, that’s at the heart of “Tender Is The
Night”,” says Luedecke.
Recorded
live in Nashville at The Butcher Shoppe in four days with producer Tim
O’Brien, Old Man Luedecke’s fifth album Tender Is The Night, follows up
My Hands Are On Fire and Other Love Songs (Black Hen Music, 2010), Proof
of Love (Black Hen Music, 2008), Hinterland (Black Hen Music, 2006),
and Mole In The Ground (2003).
