Just as the good weather took it’s time getting to Toronto this summer, I’ve taken my time coming around to the music of Old Man Luedecke. Doing my best to rectify that, I’ve been taking a crash course on the Nova Scotian banjo player and “Proof of Love,” the title-track to his 2008 album, is a great place to start.

The perfect example of Luedecke’s ability to pair an outstanding melody with amicable sincerity, this song is as endearing as it is catchy. Give it a listen and I doubt you’ll need any more proof as to why Old Man Luedecke ought to be on everyone’s playlist.
