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 twenty years.
Born in Toronto and long time resident of the country near Chester Nova Scotia, Luedecke began recording in the early 2000’s 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.
Luedecke has kept up many worldwide concert appearances, playing in Europe and around Canada and the USA and six trips to Australia, including a memorable tour where his whole young family travelled with him around rural Queensland for the Festival of Small Halls.
In May 2022 Luedecke was awarded an honorary doctorate from King’s University in Halifax for his cultural contributions.
The Allied Arts Council would like to thank The Panoram Foundation for their generosity and support of our organization, this project and the arts in our community.
The Allied Arts Council of Pincher Creek is supported year round by Alberta Foundation for the Arts, and Joint Council Funding.

Live Music at The Lebel
The Allied Arts Council of Pincher Creek(AAC) strives to host concerts and events that appeal to a wide audience, are diverse, thought provoking and will increase access to musical experiences in our community. Our year-round event schedule is growing with the goal of showcasing emerging and established musicians and performers from across the country. Our programming schedule is developed year round as our staff diligently and happily immerse themselves in the music scene across the province and country.
Interested in Performing?
We are always excited to discover and enjoy new music and encourage artists to submit a complete EPK to our Executive Director, Kassandra Chancey
We will review all submissions, and are currently considering artists for our soon to be updated indoor space between December 2024 and June 2025. If you are a touring musician working on a specific schedule, please include the dates you will be in the area in the subject line of your email.
The AAC does not typically book cover or tribute acts. This does not mean your act cannot include covers/arrangements during your set, however we are looking for bands and performers with a repertoire of original music.
In an effort to avoid competition with other local live music providers and grow the local music scene the AAC typically requests that Artists do not book shows in the Town or MD of Pincher Creek (Beaver Mines, Lundbreck, Twin Butte) 30 days prior to and post agreed upon show dates unless otherwise agreed upon.
Our marketing and outreach relies heavily on online interactions. Please be sure to include links to your web presence and social media in your submission email.
