Finishing up his Canadian West Coast tour last week, Nevado Records recording artist Leif Vollebekk has more in store for you this year. After a European tour in September (dates to be announced soon), Leif Vollebekk will spend more time on home soil playing two shows at this year’s Pop Montreal festival followed by a North American tour with Ottawa’s The Acorn.
Leif Vollebekk recently recorded a never before released track “Cairo Blues” on the renowned Blogotheque/BlackXS Take Away Show video channel. See the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5GeWpp4iJc
Recent press has been raving about Vollebekk’s debut release Inland. “A stunning collection of mostly acoustic songs that captivate from the first note through to the last. There’s a maturity in his writing and arranging of Inland that belies Vollebekk’s age,” wrote Vue Weekly. Eye Weekly raved, “Inland finds Vollebekk baring his soul and achieving a deep poignancy [and] effortlessly transcends the singer-songwriter paradigm.” Currently working on his follow up toInland for Nevado Records (The Meligrove Band, Bahamas), don’t miss Vollebekk’s inspiring and dynamic live shows in intimate venues while you still can!
