An American original. A true artist. This man's music speaks to the human spirit.

acoustic alt-country americana folk poetic singer-songwriter

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.

Since the 2001 release of his critically-acclaimed debut 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 UK. 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 others. MOJO praised Miles as "A striking debut. [Foucault] comes out sounding like the love-child of Chris Whitley and Kelly Joe Phelps... strong songs, a voice and blues guitar that sound wiser than his years."

Hiya! As there was no group leader for this group I applied for the job - and got it ;) I hope this group will become more active than it has been. And Anteru, pleased to meet the other Foucault fan in The Netherlands ;)

Well, I am not only new to your group, but brand new to Last.fm. I was browsing (with Jeff being my first search) when I saw your group. I joined Last.fm in order to join your group. I still know next to nothing about this site. It looks like there's a lot to learn. Best place to start, I'm guessing, is with others who love this man's music!

Thank you for creating this group, I'm glad there are more Foucault listeners around here! In my country I seem to be the only one, it's so hard to find a CD!
