Old Man Luedecke is the recording name of two-time JUNO award winning and Polaris prize nominated singer songwriter Chris Luedecke. A multiple East Coast Music Award winner known for his high-energy banjo driven stompers, touching guitar ballads and dry, humorous stories, Luedecke has been making a soundtrack to an authentic life for nearly 20 years. Born in Toronto and long-time resident of the country near Chester, Nova Scotia, Luedecke began recording in the early 2000s DIY folk scene of Halifax. He made his two JUNO winning albums for Black Hen Music in the late ’00s with Steve Dawson as producer at Vancouver’s famed Factory studio. While on a tour of England in 2009, he met and supported folk roots legend Tim O’Brien who produced Luedecke’s next two albums. Tender is the Night was recorded at John’s Prine’s Butcher Shoppe Studio in Nashville in 2012 and 2015’s Domestic Eccentric was recorded in a cabin Luedecke built himself at his home in NS. 2019 saw Luedecke recording Easy Money at both the Banff Centre in Alberta and at Hotel2Tango in Montreal. Songs like “I Quit My Job” at the beginning of his career and “The Early Days” at the beginning of his family and dozens of other fan favourites trace a warm line of effort, sadness and joy and provide a soundtrack to many peoples’ own progress through adulthood, touching a rare place of truth and charm in the holiness of the mundane. His performing style with his easy going humour and storytelling creates a rare space of hopeful and intimate magic.

With songs that play like home movies, Colour Film is Hamilton’s Matthew de Zoete (pronounced “duh-ZOO-tuh”) with a band of friends filling out a cinematic roots palette. Mixing a storyteller’s eye for detail with a knack for melody and beautiful harmonies, their latest album Half An Hour presents snapshots of everyday life that illuminate the underlying currents. After releasing four albums and playing 1001 shows across North America and Europe, Matthew took a few years off for family time and a near-fatal injury. But now he’s reborn. Colour Film concerts are communal experiences, engaging audiences with stories and sing-alongs. Here’s a recent review from a SOCAN exec: “He sounded great, gentle but intense, while his backing singer offered sublime harmonies. As haunting as the music is, his onstage banter is the exact equal-but-opposite – funny, self-deprecating, and utterly charming.”
