EILEN JEWELL 2016
Superb singer/songwriter Eilen Jewell and her band have announced a return to Australia and will play two special headline shows in March.
They will play the Caravan Club in Melbourne on March 26 and also the Thornbury Theatre on March 30. Tickets for both these shows are now on sale.
As previously announced Eilen will also open for Jason Isbell at his two shows in Melbourne plus shows in Bendigo and Sydney.
Hailing from Boise, Idaho, Eilen Jewell is a remarkable singer/songwriter who’s honesty, confidence, and respect permeate her music dating back to her self-released Boundary County album in 2006.
Since then, she has recorded five studio albums with her road-tested touring band, and two more as a member of the Boston-based gospel-charged Sacred Shakers, which includes that well-oiled band at its core. Her work has won many fans including multiple Oscar winner Tom Hanks who included Heartache Boulevard in his must listen to list.
Her latest album, Sundown Over Ghost Town, is a masterful culmination of Jewell’s work to date and had critics raving including American Songwriter Magazine – “An undiscovered gem…a layered, shimmering pearl of an album that shines like cut crystal.” And this from Pop Matters – “8 stars… expressive grace and and imagery… barbed details… Her melodies create sonic landscapes, mostly of the mythic American West where human beings have the perspective of big open spaces to compare themselves with a wide-screen setting… “
Eilen Jewell and band will also play Boogie Festival and the Silver Raven Festival in Adelaide.
