Leif Vollebekk is a Canadian singer-songwriter hailing from Ottawa, whose evocative blend of indie folk and soulful Americana has resonated with audiences both at home and internationally. Having released his debut album "Inland" in 2010, Vollebekk's earnest storytelling and intimate vocal style quickly marked him as a compelling voice in the indie music landscape. Drawing on influences that span from Bob Dylan to Jeff Buckley, his songs are woven with a lyrical richness and an organic instrumentation that feels both timeless and refreshingly modern.

With a discography that has grown more poignant with each release, Vollebekk's noteworthy albums include "North Americana" (2013) and "Twin Solitude" (2017), the latter of which propelled him to new heights, earning a spot on the Polaris Music Prize shortlist—a testament to the album's critical impact. His later work, "New Ways" (2019), continues his exploration of the human condition with sonic textures that mix the traditional with the contemporary. A testament to his dynamic live presence are the recent releases "New Waves (Live Recordings '19-'21)" and various live tracks that showcase his ability to create an intimate connection with his audience through performance. Leif Vollebekk's artistry remains rooted in a deep sensitivity and a profound sense of musicality that make his narratives not just heard, but deeply felt.
