JEFFREY FOUCAULT

This is how Jeffrey Foucault describes himself: "I take the small roads when I can. I hit the small rooms with a couple old guitars and a 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 typewriter and a Western Bell rotary phone, and I use both. I wore a pearl snap cowboy shirt in my Kindergarten school picture. Irony isn’t my thing. I write songs about love, memory, God, desire, wilderness and loss."

The New York Times writes: "Jeffrey Foucault, sings stark, literate songs that are as wide open as the landscape of his native Midwest," while Uncut magazine writes, "The music of Wisconsin native Foucault is the kind so many aspire to but never attain: beat-up troubadour folk whittled to dolorous perfection…"

Jeffrey Foucault will be playing with drummer Billy Conway from the band Morphine. Tickets are £12.00 in advance and can be bought from the venue or by calling the pub on 01803 328290
