Attic hosts acclaimed songsmith Jeffrey Foucault in Livingston
The Attic, Downtown Livingston’s favorite live music venue, presents the singer/songwriter Jeffrey Foucault on Saturday, October 5th at 8:30pm. Advance tickets to this 21+ show are $20. Doors open at 7:30pm.
Foucault comes to Southwest Montana in support of his latest release, Blood Brothers. Called “immaculately tailored” by The New York Times, the collection of reveries interlaces memory with the present tense to examine the indelible connections of love across time and distance.
A departure from the darkness of his last outing, the album sets blues aside to pull together strands of country, R&B, gospel, rock n’ roll and folk in a series of delicate small-canvas portraits. There’s a touch more light coming through the window, a certain gentleness in play, with layers of backing vocals sung by women – including Foucault’s wife Kris Delmhorst, as well as the various partners of the band – adding hue and shade.
As noise and politics, fashion and illusion obtrude on all fronts, Blood Brothers is a deep breath and a step inward, with tenderness and human concern, paying constant attention to the places where the mundane and the holy merge like water. In language pared to element, backed by his world-class band, Foucault considers the nature of love and time in ten songs free of ornament, staking out and enlarging the ground he’s been working diligently all the new century: quietly building a deep, resonant catalogue of songs about about love, memory, God, desire, wilderness, and loss.
