Jeffrey Foucault

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), Jeffrey Foucault has released four collections of original songs under his own name, and two full-band collaborations with contemporary poet Lisa Olstein under the moniker Cold Satellite. His songs, 'Beat-up troubadour folk, whittled to dolorous perfection' (Uncut), mine the darker seams of American music to distill a terse amalgam of blues, country, rock 'n' roll, and folk. He lives in Western Massachusetts with his wife, the singer and songwriter Kris Delmhorst, and their 6 year old daughter.

In September of 2015 Jeffrey Foucault will release Salt As Wolves, his fifth collection of original songs. Featuring his longtime rhythm section Billy Conway (Morphine) on drums and Jeremy Moses Curtis (Booker T) on bass, and reuniting him with legendary electric guitar player Bo Ramsey (Lucinda Williams, Greg Brown), Salt As Wolves offers twelve tracks that exist out of time, like a field recording of a place that never existed: a lean, bold blues record that deftly weaves together disparate strands of sound and experience, raw love and desperate wisdom.
