Old Man Luedecke returns for a short tour, and one Melbourne
show ...and what a show!
From the music rich maritime province of Nova Scotia,
Old Man Luedecke is a rare type of musician. A
songwriting one of such hopeful goodness, rarer still.
His jaunty frailing style banjo playing lending uplifting
buoyancy to sometimes quite melancholy and highly unique
lyrical ideas.Australian award-winning band The Mae
Trio are a breath of fresh air on the contemporary
folk scene. It is a rare treat to experience such unique
instrumentation and spine-tingling harmonies, and The
Mae Trio promises bucketloads of both.
The Spotted Mallard will light up with one of the best
double-bills you will see!
All roads lead to The Spotted Mallard!

HERE'S SOME SAMPLES
OLD MAN LUEDECKE
FROM the music rich maritime province of Nova Scotia
on the East coast a banjo songster like Old Man Luedecke
is a rare type of musician. A songwriting one of such
hopeful goodness, rarer still. In the tradition of solo
banjo men and women of days gone by like Doc Boggs, Old
Man Luedecke sings his songs accompanied only by his loving
five string, foot stomps and the occasional yodel. This
is a bizarre type of music Doc Boggs might have made if
he'd studied poetry.
Chris Luedecke lives in Halifax and works all over
the huge country of Canada, from the Yukon to Vancouver.
His jaunty frailing style banjo playing lending uplifting
buoyancy to sometimes quite melancholy and highly unique
lyrical ideas, and it slotted beautifully into a young
market hungry for new growth from old roots. His music
has received wide acclaim across the genres in Canada,
from Feist to Buck 65 who co-opted him to play banjo on
one of his most famous early tracks 'Indestructible Sam'.
His songs are melodic gems blending old time sensibilities
with an unusual vision and poetic sense. His music belies
someone more than slightly ill at ease with modern life
and he performs with a gentle and endearing charisma,
stories littered with a canny oblique humour; he's a sly
entertainer with almost a hint of contemporary vaudeville
about him and he plays a mean claw hammer banjo clearly
derivative of the old time and Appalachia. He's a revelation!
His latest recording Domestic Eccentric is his
seventh and is recorded with and produced by Tim O'Brien
legendary old time and bluegrass musician. The album is
inspired and dedicated to his family, which is characterised
by Chris as somewhat an "eccentric domestic"
existence. The album has received heavy radio play and
is the most successful of his seven album releases. Over
his career he's won two Juno awards (Canada's acoustic
music awards) and two further nominations.
THE MAE TRIO
The Mae Trio are Maggie Rigby (banjo, ukuleles,
guitar, marimba and vocals), Elsie Rigby (violin,
ukulele and vocals) and Anita Hillman (cello, bass
and vocals) With their roots firmly planted in folk tradition,
Australian award-winning band The Mae Trio are
a breath of fresh air on the contemporary folk scene.
It is a rare treat to experience such unique instrumentation
and spine-tingling harmonies, and The Mae Trio promises
bucketloads of both.
Recipients of the Folk Alliance Australia Youth Award,
the prestigious Maton Class Act Award and the NFSA Folk
Recording of the Year for their debut album Housewarming,
The Mae Trio have made a colourful splash globally including
international performances from Celtic Connections to
Folk Alliance International in Kansas City, MIDEM Festival
in Cannes and Americana Festival in Nashville, not to
mention a string of shows at Australia’s leading
festivals from Port Fairy Folk Festival to Blue Mountains
Music Festival.
