Doors: 8:00pm (Early show)

Leif Vollebekk spent two years searching for perfect takes. This search took him from his home in Montreal to a studio in Manhattan, from a farmhouse in Woodstock, NY to a mansion outside Paris, and the result is a dusty, polished, new, old record called North Americana.

�I wrote the songs, I found the best band in the world, and then all I had to do was find the right studio, for the right take,� he says. �And it took forever.�

After his 2010 debut, Vollebekk knew the kind of album he wanted to make next: a record like the ones he loves by Gillian Welch or Ryan Adams, that feel old and familiar even when they�re new. But also a record that speaks to the listener through its lyrics, with songs �that can hold up in a storm,� that are packed full of perfect little mistakes.
