Hailing from Boise, Idaho, Eilen Jewell is a remarkable singer-songwriter whose honesty, confidence, and respect permeates 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 it’s 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 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…”
