EILEN JEWELL Eilen Jewell is a hot new name in the United States Americana genre, this Boston-based alternative country singer-songwriter is sweeping all before her as her albums receive huge attention and her live performances are winning her new fans at every show she plays. Eilen is touring Australia for the first time with her longtime band of Jason Beek (drums, harmony vocals), Jerry Miller (electric, acoustic, and steel guitars), and Johnny Sciascia (upright bass) who wed her elegantly unflinching songwriting with a rustic, pre-Beatles swagger that encapsulates vintage R&B, Midwestern garage rock, Chicago blues, and early rock and rockabilly, while maintaining the haunting, folk-inspired purity that first made her an artist to watch. Eilen is touring her new album With Sea of Tears combines which Eilen's swinging country roots with her love of 60's British Rock. The result will appeal to fans of Holly Golightly as well as Gillian Welch. The record features a drop-dead killer version of Johnny Kidd & The Pirates' Shakin' All Over', which any Australian over 40 will know via Normie Rowe's smash hit version from 1965. 'Shakin' All Over' is the album's first single and will be the album's first video. "She is a remarkable singer: you'll understand why 'Eilen' rhymes with 'feelin'." - Doug Spencer, Weekend Planet, ABC Radio View Eilen Jewell Website | View Eilen Jewell MySpace SUZANNAH ESPIE Suzannah Espie was born in England, brought up in WA and found herself in Melbourne at 18. Studying composition at Latrobe Uni, she graduated with distinction and has spent the subsequent years forgetting most of what she learned. As a singer she's equally at home with sweet country, dirty blues, down home soul and gospel and most everything in between. "Everything I sing is from my heart" she says, and this is obvious to all who have watched her through her days with the wonderful GIT, her blues mama outings with pianist Andrew 'Big Boy Lemonade' Ogburn up to her latest performances with her latest band The Last Word. Suzannah has spent most of the last year touring to promote her world class new album First and Last Hotel produced by acclaimed singer/songwriter Charles Jenkins (Ice-cream Hands). "There's no shortage these days of fey-voiced singer/songwriters. So thank the heavens and the lung gods for Suzannah Espie, a woman who's not afraid to sing, really sing. And yowza, can she. **** The Age. View Suzannah Espie Website | View Suzannah Espie MySpace Check out one of our other concerts:
