BRATTLEBORO - Twilight Music presents Americana singer/songwriters Jeffrey Foucault and Anders Parker at Hooker-Dunham Theater & Gallery on Saturday, February 13, at 7:30 pm.

Foucault’s musical career was seeded at 17, 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 farmhand and a house carpenter, Foucault turned to writing songs.

Since the 2001 release of his critically-acclaimed debut CD, “Miles from the Lightning,” Foucault, a native of Wisconsin and recent transplant to western Massachusetts, has built an independent career touring extensively in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Along the way, he has played with artists and icons such as Guy Clark, Greg Brown, Chris Smither, Kelly Joe Phelps, Gillian Welch, Richard Buckner, John Hammond, and Roseanne Cash. He also collaborated with Peter Mulvey and Kris Delmhorst to create the 2003 album of mostly cover songs, “Redbird.”

In 2006, Foucault teamed with legendary blues guitar player and producer Bo Ramsey to create “Ghost Repeater,” a country and blues album at the crossroads of love and lament, exploring the hopefulness of new love and the seasickness of contemporary American living. “Ghost Repeater” hews close to the line of Foucault’s previous albums, with darkly intimate songs and rich language, and like them, it delivers the honesty of country, the rawboned desperation of blues, and the simplicity of folk to achieve a document that’s timeless and poignant.

Highly regarded in the indie world for years with his band Varnaline, the rock group Space Needle, and a project called Gob Iron with Jay Farrar, Parker has recorded three solo albums, all filled with melancholy, minor-key masterpieces.

Hooker-Dunham Theater & Gallery is located at 139 Main Street in downtown Brattleboro. Tickets for this concert are $15 general / $13 students and seniors. For ticket reservations and information call (802) 254-9276. For more information visit www.hookerdunham.org.
