Canadian indie artist Leif Vollebekk announces headline Whelan's show

Canadian singer-songwriter Leif Vollebekk has finally announced new European concert dates, which include a gig in Dublin's Whelan's pub on April 26th, 2022.

After having to postpone much of his New Ways tour dates due to the global pandemic back in March 2020, Vollebekk can’t wait to get back on the road and reunite with his fans, in the biggest concert venues he’s ever played to date in every city.

"I had to pinch myself when they told me we were going back on tour,” Leif says of the news. “All that comes to mind are the timeless words of Willie Nelson: 'Just can’t wait to get on the road again / The life I love is making music with my friends'."

Leif Vollebekk was recently invited to the Late Late Show with James Corden for his debut late-night performance in the United States. He performed his most recent single 'Long Blue Light', which has amassed over 7 million streams since it was released last November. His performance was filmed with the help of friends in Boulder, Colorado and beautifully directed by Andy Mann.

For those who enjoy the Netflix series Feel Good, featuring Mae Martin and Lisa Kudrow, episode one of the second season features the inimitable song 'Transatlantic Flight' from New Ways.

His most recent full-length project was a sonic documentation of everything that Leif felt at the time; tenderness and violence, sex and rebirth. The album now has over 21 million streams, support from Pitchfork, Uncut, NPR/World Cafe, The New York Times and obtained a credible Polaris Music Prize 2020 Long List nod. His 2017 album Twin Solitude was a shortlisted finalist for the Polaris Music Prize.
