(Town of Nelson, NY – Dec. 2013) Jeffrey Foucault’s music has an ethereal, haunted quality to it that makes descriptors such as “roots soundscapes” and “old-weird-atmospheres” a bit more accurate than the typical “folk” or “Americana” tags. Foucault’s real strength lies in his ability to coax the feeling out of the darkest corners of a tune. His latest release, Horse Latitudes, is being touted as one of the best Americana releases of the year.
He will be at The Nelson Odeon with Roosevelt Dime Saturday Dec. 7. Doors open at 7:30 for an 8 p.m. performance.
To listen to the music of Roosevelt Dime is to take a journey through American roots music. Inspired by Appalachian string bands, Memphis soul, New Orleans dixieland, and the musical melting pot of Brooklyn which they call home, the band has forged a sound they’ve come to call Steamboat Soul. After years of thrilling audiences at festivals and venues across the country, the band has fully captured the energy and musicianship of their live performance on Full Head of Steam (2014).
