If you rearrange the letters of Leif Vollebekk’s name you get the word Lieblekklove, the secret language he sings in. With the soulful and skewed folk styles of Vollebekk, it doesn’t really matter if you decipher the words as long as you’re ready to be carried away on a buttery cloud.

Ketch Harbour Wolves hail from across Ontario while fostering a deep connection to Nova Scotia where in 2003 the band’s predecessor, The Flying Buttresses, was forged in the small coastal town of Ketch Harbour. After almost two years of intense musical experimentation, near destitution, and enough stories for a lifetime of songs, singer Jonathan Tyrrell and drummer Brian Urbanik packed their van and drove the seventeen-hundred kilometres home to Ontario. It was back on familiar ground that they would begin to lay the foundations for what would become Ketch Harbour Wolves.
