Montreal multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter Leif Vollebekk<\/a> is bringing his deep and moving lyricism to Rochester for what will be a special show at the Historic German House<\/a>. He is touring behind his critically-acclaimed third album, Twin Solitude<\/i>, released earlier this year. The three years between records saw him in a creative rut, brought on by extended periods on the road. But he was able to find inspiration in everyday beauty, the seemingly mundane. It has garnered plenty of praise, from NPR Music admiring it as “devastatingly beautiful,” Brooklyn Vegan calling it “lovely, soulful and spare,” while The Fader praised Vollebekk’s “passionate Broken Social Scene-adjacent melodies wrapped in a casual, jammy atmosphere.”<\/p>\n

Local pop-up show promoter Honest Folk<\/a>, a year into their enterprise, are\u00a0bringing Vollebekk for their first show at the German House in Rochester’s South Wedge this Thursday, May 18. The show will begin around 7pm. Tickets are $30 and are available at their website. A portion of the proceeds from\u00a0the show will benefit the Center for Youth<\/a>, a local organization that provides comprehensive programs and services\u2014from prevention education and counseling to emergency shelter and youth development opportunities.<\/p>\n
