You could measure Nashville-by-way-of-Kansas City-Missouri songwriter Jeff Black by the company he keeps, with his songs having been recorded by everyone from Alison Krauss and Waylon Jennings, to Jerry Douglas, John Oates, Dierks Bently, and more. But it’s better to appraise his work on its own terms, and Black’s spare-yet-unsparing delivery, with not much more than his voice and an acoustic guitar, infuses his songs with a stark and elemental weight.
Though Black was voted one of the top 100 Folk artists of the last 25 years by Boston's WUMB listeners, he doesn’t often make it up to these parts. Our 2nd Shift audience is in for a rare and special treat, so mark your calendars now.
