the interview show: Leif Vollebekk

When I walked up to the Biltmore to interview Leif Vollebekk, I found him closing the van and introduced myself. Turns out I was actually talking to Rolf from Acorn (the band Leif was on tour with). Leif and Rolf look uncannily alike and could easily be confused for siblings. So I guess it is luck the Acorn chose Leif to go on tour with them. Leif later told me that he was manning the merch table in Seattle and this drunk fan made the same mistake. 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 compares to those heavy weights yet, but he is starting in a great place and he is a really sweet guy too.
