Chanteuse
Country US née le 6 Avril 1979 à Boise (Idaho).
Although her
country-flavored and blues-infused version of contemporary folk (which also can
include healthy doses of rockabilly and surf) has drawn comparisons to musicians
like Lucinda Williams, Gillian
Welch, Jolie Holland, and the Be Good Tanyas, Eilen Jewell's strongest
influences have been the classic sides recorded by Bessie Smith and Billie
Holiday (the latter artist is no doubt the source for Jewell's characteristic
and surprisingly effective stretched, slowed, and even slurred Vocals mannerisms).
Born and raised in Boise, Idaho, Jewell began piano lessons at the age of seven
and picked up the guitar when she was 14. She also fell under the powerful spell
of Smith and Holiday (along with discovering other artists like Bob Dylan and
Howlin' Wolf). While attending St. John's College in Santa Fe, she began playing
the local farmers' markets and bars. She moved to Los Angeles, then relocated
all the way across the country in early 2003 to western Massachusetts, and later
in the year she moved to Boston, where she threw herself into the vigorous local
music scene. She recorded a live demo album in 2005 called Nowhere in No Time
and put out the self-released studio project Boundary Country a year later in
2006. The critical response to Boundary Country led to her signing with
Signature Sounds, and Jewell's first national release, Letters from Sinners &
Strangers, appeared from the imprint in 2007. A second album from Signature
Sounds, Queen of the Minor Key, was released in 2011. The next few years were
spent touring the U.S. and around the world, culminating in the 2014 live
double-album Live at the Narrows. After relocating back to her hometown of
Boise, Idaho, Jewell released her fifth album, 2015's Sundown Over Ghost Town.
On 2017's Down Hearted Blues, Jewell indulged her passion for vintage blues with
covers of a dozen of her favorites in the genre.
