Twilight Music presents:

Jeffrey Foucault W/ Anders Parker
Date: Feb 13, 2010
Time: 7:30 pm
Twilight Music presents Americana singer/songwriters, Jeffrey Foucault and
Anders Parker.

Jeffrey Foucault's musical career was seeded at 17, when he began playing
John Prine tunes on his father's beat up mail-order guitar, and spent long
evenings in his bedroom, spinning piles of old records on a hand-me-down
turntable. When he was 18, he stole a copy of Townes Van Zandt: Live and
Obscure from a friend, and a few years later, having quit school to work as a
farm-hand and a house carpenter, Foucault turned to writing songs.

Since the 2001 release of his critically-acclaimed debut CD, Miles from the
Lightning, Foucault, a native of Wisconsin and recent transplant to western
Massachusetts, has built an independent career touring extensively in the
United States, Canada and the UK. Along the way, he has played with artists
and icons such as Guy Clark, Greg Brown, Chris Smither, Kelly Joe Phelps,
Gillian Welch, Richard Buckner, John Hammond and Roseanne Cash. He also
collaborated with Peter Mulvey and Kris Delmhorst to create the 2003 album
of mostly cover songs, Redbird.

In 2006, Foucault teamed with legendary blues guitar player and producer, Bo
Ramsey, to create Ghost Repeater, a country and blues album at the
crossroads of love and lament, exploring the hopefulness of new love and the
seasickness of contemporary American living. Ghost Repeater hews close to
the line of Foucault's previous albums, with darkly intimate songs and rich
language, and like them, it delivers the honesty of country, the rawboned
desperation of blues, and the simplicity of folk to achieve a document that's
timeless and poignant.

Foucault’s latest CD, Shoot the Moon Right Between the Eyes: Jeffrey Foucault
Sings the Songs of John Prine, offers compelling new interpretations of
thirteen John Prine originals. In solo and duet arrangements with friends and
touring companions including Eric Heywood, Mark Erelli, David Goodrich,
Peter Mulvey, Kris Delmhorst, Annelies Howell and Zak Trojano, Foucault
conjures a terrain both spare and atmospheric.

Highly regarded in the indie world for years with his band, Varnaline, the
rock group, Space Needle, and a project called Gob Iron with Jay Farrar (Son
Volt, Uncle Tupelo), Anders Parker has recorded three solo albums (Skyscaper
Crow, Tell It to the Dust and a self-titled disc), all filled with melancholy,
minor-key masterpieces.

Tickets for this concert are $15 General / $13 Students and Seniors. For
ticket reservations and information, call 802-254-9276.
