Jeffrey Foucault Expands BLOOD BROTHERS Fall Tour

Jeffrey Foucault released Blood Brothers this summer, a collection of reveries interlacing memory with the present tense to examine the indelible connections of love across time and distance. The album features vocals from Tift Meritt, Pieta Brown, and Kris Delmhorst as well as a duet with Kenneth Pattengale from the Milk Carton Kids.

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, a decidedly Midwestern amalgam of blues, country, rock 'n' roll, and folk. The troubadour finishes up European tour next week and will be back on the road this fall in the U.S. along with the full band from the album, including longtime tour partner Billy Conway (Morphine) on drums, Jeremy Moses Curtis (Booker T) on bass, Bo Ramsey (Lucinda Williams) on electric guitars, and pedal steel great Eric Heywood (Pretenders). Between tours Foucault will be showcasing at AmericanaFest in September.

"I take the small roads when I can," says Foucault. "I hit the small rooms with a couple old guitars and 5-watt Skylark amp. Sometimes with a band, and then I stand up. Mostly it's just me and my friend Billy Conway, the best drummer I ever heard. Then we both sit down and I stomp my foot. I own a Smith corona type writers and a Western Bell rotary phone, and I use them both. I wore a pearl snap cowboy shirt in my kindergarten school picture. Irony isn't my thing. I try to write the kind of songs Johnny Cash would cover if he was still around."
