    Jewells songs are achingly good, twanged-out elegies to a world of barbed wire, rusty trucks, and a frontier that no longer exists. Boston Globe

    Boise-born and Boston-based, Eilen Jewell has quickly distinguished herself as one of the rising stars of a new generation of roots musicians. She will be joined by her band, which includes Jason Beek (drums, harmony vocals), Jerry Miller (electric, acoustic and steel guitars) and Johnny Sciascia (upright bass). Jewell and her band form the heart of the American gospel supergroup The Sacred Shakers, which brings in Daniel Kellar (violin), Eric Royer (vocals and banjo), Greg Glassman (vocals and acoustic guitar) and Daniel Fram (vocals and acoustic guitar). The Sacred Shakers, who will open the concert, offer new life to the gospel genre by revisiting the stripped down country and bluesy gospel material that has inspired them.
