Event

Jeffrey Foucault with Laurie Sargent

One of the finest songwriters of his generation, Jeffrey Foucault has taken, in his own words, the small roads; building a brick and mortar independent international touring career of ten studio albums, countless miles and critical accolades. Hes 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)

Foucault has released his 10th studio album, Salt As Wolves and will stop in at the Playhouse as part of a nationwide tour. The New York Times called his new release, "Immaculately tailored... Sometimes his songs run right up to the edge of the grandiose and hold still, and that's when he's best." Additional praise has come from the Wall Street Journal, No Depression, The Current, Folk Alley, and many more. Greil Marcus recently featured Foucault's single "Slow Talker" in his column saying, "A country plea, a blues reach for facts beyond sound, the sense of immediate doom that only a slide guitar can make in its hesitations, its sense of suspension that seem to hold everything a step behind where it ought to be... Scary in the bend of the first note." Don Henley, who regularly covers Foucault in his live set, recently said during a SiriusXM interview that Foucault's music, "Clocks modern culture about as good as I've heard anybody clock it."
