A voice that sounds like it's lived a lifetime's worth of heartache — if that's not a solid foundation for an indie folk singer-songwriter, then possessing the skills of a world-class multi-instrumentalist would most certainly assist those efforts.

He’s an effervescent character for sure and there’s a role for him across the road at the Frog & Bucket Comedy Club if he ever yearns for a career change.

Admittedly a deep cut ("You probably don't know it," as Vollebekk put it) — it's that Buckley is such an obvious comparator for the Montreal-based singer-songwriter: the soulful voice, the ethereal sense of phrasing and tone in the playing.

It turned out that last Thursdays triple bill of Olenka, Leif Vollebekk and the Wilderness of Manitoba was the perfect place and time for me.
