Jeffrey Foucault (pronounced FOH-kult) released his critically acclaimed debut Miles from the Lightning in 2001. Touring to support this album since then, Foucault has played with Guy Clark, Greg Brown, Chris Smither, Kelly Jo Phelps, Gillian Welch, Richard Buckner, Rosanne Cash, and John Hammond, among others. He also collaborated with his friends Peter Mulvey and Kris Delmhorst to create the 2003 album of mostly cover songs Redbird. In 2004, Foucault released his long-awaited sophomore solo follow-up, Stripping Cane.
But I probably like his most recent, Ghost Repeater, best. It was released in 2006.

Foucault is the master of an introspective, sometimes dark, mood. Sparse instrumentation on both his albums is the rule. On this solo gig at the Paradiso all he needed was his guitar.

Jeffrey Foucault is an American singer-songwriter from Southeastern Wisconsin grown out of the americana/folk troubadour tradition. Foucault's musical career was seeded at seventeen, when he began playing John Prine tunes on his father's beat up mail-order guitar, and spent long evenings in his bedroom, spinning piles of old records on a hand-me-down turntable. When he was 18 he stole a copy of Townes Van Zandt: Live and Obscure from a friend, and a few years later, having quit school to work as a farm-hand and a house-carpenter Foucault turned to writing songs.
