JEFFREY FOUCAULT
TERRI HENDRIX WITH LLOYD MAINES
Onstage, we're kicking off our 16th season with two great singer-songwriters who first met Iowa audiences at CSPS.

Jeffrey Foucault returns to Eastern Iowa for an evening of his pure, visionary Americana poetry. A native Wisconsin troubadour with a soulful voice and  great stage presence, Jeffrey makes a musical home for himself at the crossroads of love and lament. He specializes in country rockers, dark narrative ballads, haunting character studies, and spare love songs embellished with his richly toned fingerstyle guitar work. His CSPS performance will feature songs from the 2006 CD, Ghost Repeater, recorded in Iowa City and produced by Bo Ramsey. It's an album that juxtaposes a personal narrative of hope and joy (Jeffrey recently got married) against the wider, often darker story of the times. The Boston Globe has praised Jeffrey's "rolling, reflective ballads that shimmer with blue shade, everyday images, and the quiet strength of hard-earned wisdom."

There’s nothing ordinary about San Antonio-born, San-Marcos-based Terri Hendrix, who abandoned a college opera scholarship to milk goats for guitar lessons. With influences ranging from Mississippi John Hurt and Sonny Boy Williamson to Paul Simon and Ella Fitzgerald, she honed her chops on the Texas songwriter circuit. Today she describes her unique stylistic mix of folk, roots-pop, country and scat-jazz as being “from another planet."
Since 1997, Terri has worked and toured with producer and instrumentalist Lloyd Maines (Joe Ely, Dixie Chicks). With Terri on guitar, harmonica and mandolin, and Lloyd on guitar, mandolin, pedal steel and dobro, they've played some of the most celebrated venues and festivals across the country and Europe, including the Newport Folk Festival, Mountain Stage, Kerrville and Austin City Limits.
With the homespun charm and humor that shine through her spirited live performances, Terri’s shows attract both young and old, leaving all who attend inspired. Take it from Griff Luneburg of Austin’s renowned Cactus Cafe: “Terri is a truly captivating artist who will break your heart with one song and leave her sold-out crowds smiling with the next. Her songs come straight from the heart. The truest of Texas troubadours, she’s simply one of the best — and I’ve seen ‘em all.”
