Eilen Jewell at the Precinct

Last chance to catch The Eilen Jewell Band before they begin a European tour which has them playing eight shows in the Netherlands before hitting Belgium, Germany, and Spain. After a thirteen show jaunt through the UK, the band will finish up in Sweden before heading back to the States in November. Touring behind their latest release, the twangy Sea of Tears, the Eilen Jewell Band continues to wow audiences wherever the international back roads and main streets take them. Letters from Sinners and Strangers, their swanky 2007 release, found the band firmly esablishing themselves as masters in the over crowded field of Americana artists. Sea of Tears, however, finds the band paying homage to the country/folk rock sounds of the late 60's with long time EJB guitarist, Jerry Miller, ripping through one reverb laced lead after the next.

You can catch the Eilen Jewell Band tonight at the Precinct, former home to the Somerville Police Department. Sharon LeVesque opens with EJB taking the stage at 10:00. Promises to be a great show.
