Artists:Jeffrey Foucault
From WWR
|
Jeffrey Foucault was born and raised in southeastern Wisconsin. His musical career began at 17, when in the evenings he played John Prine tunes on his father's beat up mail order guitar, and spun old records on a hand-me-down turntable in his bedroom. When he was 18 he stole a copy of Townes Van Zandt's Live and Obscure from a friend, and immersed himself in the Texas folk of writers like Van Zandt and Guy Clark. With the Dylan-inspired singer songwriter movement as a foundation, he waded through old country, alt country, bluegrass, and blues, and began to identify closely with the midwestern regionalism of Greg Brown. He discovered the poetry of Kenneth Rexroth, and by 19 had begun to try his hand at writing songs. By the time he graduated with a degree in history from the University of Wisconsin in Madison, he was performing regularly at the Cafe Carpe in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin.
Foucault has played with artists and icons such as Guy Clark, Greg Brown, Chris Smither, Kelly Joe Phelps, Gillian Welch, Richard Buckner, Rosanne Cash, John Hammond and others. He also plays with Whole Wheat Radio artists Peter Mulvey and Kris Delmhorst in the band Redbird..
