Description

Vinegrass presents Jeffrey Foucault at The CHO (Center for Culture & History of Orleans) Doors: 6:30pmShow: 7:30pmIn 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. He’s built a brick-and-mortar international touring career on multiple studio albums, countless miles, and general critical acclaim, being 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 Van Dyke Parks to Greil Marcus, to Don Henley, who regularly covers Foucault in his live set. BLOOD BROTHERS is the sixth collection of original songs in a career remarkable for an unrelenting dedication to craft, and independence from trend. NEW YORK TIMES:
“Immaculately tailored… 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” GREIL MARCUS:
“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 seems to hold everything a step behind where it ought to be... scary in the bend of the first note” MORNING EDITION (NPR):
“Pure Songwriter”” DON HENLEY:
“Jeffrey Foucault… clocks modern culture about as good as I've ever heard anybody clock it” COVID REQUIREMENTSProof of Vaccination w/ matching ID (Photo or Card)Negative Covid Test 72 hours prior to performance Vinegrass is a 100% volunteer non-profit music production company founded by Americana artist Monica Rizzio, that awards scholarships, grants, and instruments to music students on Cape Cod.  In 2018, Vinegrass awarded over $15,000 in schoalrships and grants and purchased over $1,000 worth of instruments for public school music programs.
