Eilen Jewell

with Jeffrey Foucault

About Eilen Jewell

Crafting a unique style that mixes poetic ballads with swinging rockers, Eilen Jewell ranks among the best in the Americana genre today. As the reigning Queen of the Minor Key, Jewell leads a tight quartet who blend influences of surf-noir, early blues, rockabilly, and 1960s era rock and roll. 

Over the course of a decade, Eilen and her band have toured relentlessly. They have performed for legions of fans from Boston to Boise and Madrid to Melbourne at festivals, theaters, rock clubs and coffeehouses. Eilen’s fans marvel at her warmth, unique wit, and onstage humor alongside her beautiful songs and fiery performances.

Jewell’s fifth studio album, Sundown Over Ghost Town was released in May of 2015 (Signature Sounds). The album was recorded with Eilen’s longtime road band in her hometown of Boise, and is composed of twelve stunning, original compositions that feature some of her most personal stories yet.

About Jeffrey Foucault

One of the finest songwriters of his generation, Jeffrey Foucault has taken, in his own words, ‘the small roads;’ building an independent international touring career of ten studio albums, countless miles and critical accolades. He’s been lauded for “stark, literate songs that are as wide open as the landscape of his native Midwest" (The New Yorker) and described as "quietly brilliant" (The Irish Times), while catching the ear of everyone from Greil Marcus to Don Henley (who regularly covers Foucault in his live set). SALT AS WOLVES gives us Jeffrey Foucault at the height of his powers, fronting an all-star band, turning the wheel of American music.        

Jeffrey's festival presentation includes a full backing band featuring legendary electric guitar player Bo Ramsey (Lucinda Williams, Greg Brown) or renowned pedal steel and electric guitarist Eric Heywood (Son Volt, Pretenders), bassist Jeremy Moses Curtis (Booker T, Cold Satellite) and longtime drummer and tour partner Billy Conway (Morphine).  It's a hand-picked lineup that provides the perfect compliment to Foucault's elegant lines and weather-beaten drawl - the whole ensemble notable for an instinctive restraint and use of negative space. These aren't kids copping riffs: these are grown men drawing from the deep, strange well of real American music, and they have nothing to prove.
