The latest album from Canadian singer-songwriter Leif Vollebekk feels like taking a deep breath, a long walk in the woods or a beautiful afternoon nap in the sun.
Nominated for the Juno Award for adult alternative album of the year, it’s called Revelation, and in this session, Vollebekk talks about how he wrote such a peaceful album during a very tumultuous time. He also talks about songwriting, being inspired by the physical world and what it was like working with an orchestra.
Plus, Vollebekk performs songs from Revelation in front of a live audience in Philly.
