We would love to sell some more tickets for Eilen's show tomorrow. We received rave reviews from her appearance here last year and wanted to have her again as she passed through Illinois.
This will be one of those intimate shows that if you don't make, you will regret. Read what people are saying about her:
- “She’s got a sweet and clear voice with a killer instinct lurking beneath the shiny surface.” - NPR Song of the Day
- “Dark and haunting…but alluring just the same…Give me more of that voice.” - USA Today’s Pop Candy
- “An undiscovered gem…a layered, shimmering pearl of an album that shines like cut crystal.” - American Songwriter
- “We’re loving Eilen Jewell…smoky vocals and swinging rhythms.” -OK! Magazine
- “Once you hear her, you can’t help but stick around for more.” - Pollstar
- “Shimmering” – Mother Jones
- “Emotionally raw and riveting.” – Boston Globe
- “Not to be missed.” – No Depression
- “[Jewell] embellishes the classic Nashville vocal approach with appealing measures of blues, pop, and jazz.” – New Yorker
- “A major accomplishment.” – Boise Weekly
- “With a burnished voice lingering somewhere between Billie Holiday and Neko Case, Eilen Jewell’s aching vocals are pure, country-gospel, box-car soul.” – My Old Kentucky Blog
- “Must-listen alt-country.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune
- “One will become “Hooked.” Don’t be afraid of getting caught.” – PopMatters
In addition, here are a couple other tidbits to check out... including a celebrity endorsement:
- Actor Tom Hanks included Eilen as a “Summer Must” in Entertainment Weekly.
