Mauch Chunk Opera House Welcomes The Eilen Jewell Band

Eilen Jewell’s music has a way of getting to you.  While her country- and blues-infused songwriting has been favorably compared with contemporaries like Lucinda Williams and Gillian Welch, Jewell’s approach is equally inspired by jazz divas like Billie Holiday and Bessie Smith. Her new release “Queen of the Minor Key” was recorded in a cabin in the mountains of Jewell’s Idaho home, but it conjures images of smoky downtown jazz clubs and swinging honky-tonks on the wrong side of the tracks.  Once you hear her, you can’t help but stick around for more.

Eilen band is comprised of modern players authentic to Americana and Jazzy swing sound.  Once on stage the influences are evident and the songs are poetically pure and emotionally honest.
