Old Man Luedecke is an award-winning Nova Scotia-based roots singer-songwriter and old-time claw hammer-style banjo player who writes narrative-style folk songs and has a penchant for language. “Language that moves me is language that is unusual,” he notes. “I feel like it’s an important thing I can contribute to songwriting.” His latest album, Tender is the Night, pays homage to F.Scott Fitzgerald’s famous novel, a title lifted from John Keats’ poem, “Ode to a Nightingale.” Kathy Sands-Boehmer posed a few questions to him recently.
