Old Man Luedecke is the stage name of two-time JUNO Award winner and Polaris Prize nominee Chris Luedecke, a celebrated Canadian folk singer-songwriter known for his high energy bango driven stompers, touching guitar ballads and dry humorous stories. A longtime resident of rural Nova Scotia, Luedecke emerged from Halifax’s DIY folk scene in the early 2000s.

He’s released critically acclaimed albums produced by Steve Dawson and folk legend Tim O’Brien, recorded everywhere from Nashville’s Butcher Shoppe to his hand-built cabin in Nova Scotia. His songs—like “I Quit My Job” and “The Early Days”—trace the beauty and struggle of everyday life with warmth and charm.

Luedecke has toured widely across Canada, the U.S., Europe, and Australia, and in 2022 received an honorary doctorate from King’s University in Halifax for his cultural contributions
