Description

In two decades on the road Jeffrey Foucault has become one of the most distinctive voices in American music, refining a sound instantly recognizable for its simplicity and emotional power. He's built a brick-and-mortar
international touring career of multiple studio albums, countless miles, and general critical acclaim, 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 (Irish Times).
In April 2020 Jeffrey Foucault will tour the United Kingdom in support of BLOOD BROTHERS (Blueblade Records, 2018) his sixth collection of original songs, with his longtime drummer and tour partner Billy Conway (Morphine) on drums. Ry Cavanaugh (Session Americana) opens the tour.
Since 2013 Foucault and Conway have toured relentlessly together, refining aprimal, stripped-down stage show: two men, two chairs; a beat-up Gibson J-45 and an electric guitar tuned low and played through a 5-watt amp; a suitcase kick drum, a low-boy cymbal, a snare drum. The pair plays only what they can carry into the club alone in one trip, and cover all the territory from blues and country, to rock 'n' roll and folk, with a laconic ferocity and timeless cool. Their dynamic partnership as nimble as it is sonically powerful is the bedrock on which BLOOD BROTHERS builds its nuanced and poignant lament.

THE NEW YORK TIMES:
Sometimes his songs run right up to the edge of the grandiose, and hold still, and that's when he's best Close to perfection.

MOJO: 
Songwriting brilliance.
