In 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. With a string of critically acclaimed studio albums – “Stark, literate songs that are as wide open as the landscape of his native Midwest” (The New Yorker), “Beat-up troubadour folk whittled to dolorous perfection” (Uncut), “Songwriting Brilliance,” (Irish Times) – he’s built a brick-and-mortar international touring career and a devoted following, one that includes luminaries like Van Dyke Parks, Greil Marcus, and Don Henley.

Marrying blues, rock, Americana, folk, and country, Foucault released his emotional 2024 album, The Universal Fire. The album was inspired by the death of his longtime friend and drummer, Billy Conway, The Universal Fire examined themes of loss, beauty, and artifact while also alluding to the 2008 fire at the Universal Studios lot in California that destroyed master tapes of numerous influential American recordings. His first release for Portland’s Fluff & Gravy Records, it featured members of Bon Iver and Calexico.
