Leif Vollebekk has shared an acoustic version of “Peace of Mind,” the track is off his new LP Revelation. “”Peace of Mind (Morning)” felt like it wanted its own space, separate from the album version,” says Vollebekk. He adds: “there’s something about a mountain that always makes you feel at ease. It can inspire the stillness you need to find yourself. In the I Ching, Keeping Still (symbolized by a mountain) is the way to peace of mind. Considering the title, it’s rather ironic that I’ve spent more time recording this song than any other. I’ve recorded 4 or 5 different versions of this song.”

Vollebekk is currently performing across the United States on a nationwide tour supporting Revelation. The tour continues with stops in major cities, bringing his intimate yet electrifying live experience to fans coast-to-coast. In the new year, the tour will progress to Canada, with stops in Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver and more.

Revelation, was self-produced and played piano, guitar, bass, B3 organ, harmonica, accordion and Moog synthesizer, with a supporting cast that includes legendary drummer Jim Keltner, notable steel guitarist Cindy Cashdollar (Bob Dylan, Van Morrison and Rod Stewart), and revered bassist Shahzad Ismaily. His other album collaborators included artists Angie McMahon and Anaïs Mitchell on background vocals. The album was mixed by Tchad Blake (Tom Waits, Arctic Monkeys, Tracy Chapman) and mastered by Greg Calbi.
