The Interview Show with Leif Vollebekk #73

When I reached the Biltmore to interview Leif Vollebekk, I thought I found him locking the van, so introduced myself. Turns out I was actually talking to Rolf from Acorn (the Ottawa band Leif was on tour with). Leif and Rolf look uncannily alike and could easily be confused for siblings. Leif later told me that when he was manning the merch table in Seattle last night, this drunk fan had made the same mistake. Still he sold her an Acorn CD, told her that “Acorn loved her” and did everything short of signing the CD. A lot of people think Leif sounds like Nick Drake and Jeff Buckley and it is easy to see why. I don’t think he quite compares to those heavyweights yet, but he is starting in a great place. And he is a really sweet guy. Tracks played on the show... 1) Leif Vollebekk, Inland "Don't Leave For Klaksvik" 2) Leif Vollebekk, Inland "You Couldn't Lie To Me In Paris" 3) Leif Vollebekk, Inland "1921" 4) Leif Vollebekk, Inland "Northern Most Ava Maria" ALL songs CANCON
