Boston's
WUMB listeners voted Jeff Black as one of the top
100 most important Folk artists of the last 25
years. Black's songs have earned GRAMMY
recognition, radio chart-topping stats and
numerous BMI awards. Although flying below the
radar as a performer himself, he has been
recognized by NPR as a musical pioneer in the
digital age. His flagship podcast "Black Tuesdays"
circa 2005-2007 are classic imprints on the format
and his catalogue of critically
acclaimed
albums continues to grow. Composing music for film
and television, his credits include numerous
indie-film soundtracks and a repertoire of songs
cut by artists as diverse as Alison Krauss &
Union Station, Waylon Jennings, BlackHawk, Dierks
Bentley, Jon Randall, John Oates, Jerry Douglas
and Sam Bush. Black has forged a reputation as a
true folk troubadour entertaining
audiences
globally for over three decades. A master
songwriter and performer in the tradition of the
great storytellers, his passionate, soul driven
live performances of songs from his vast catalog
are not to be missed. ~http://jeffblack.com
