Boston’s WUMB listeners voted Jeff Black as one of the top 100 most important folk artists of the last 25 years.
Black’s songs have earned Grammy recognition, radio chart-topping stats, and numerous BMI awards. Although flying below the radar as a performer himself, NPR has recognized him as a musical pioneer in the digital age. His flagship podcast, “Black Tuesdays,” circa 2005-2007, is a classic imprint on the format, and his catalog of critically acclaimed albums continues to grow. Composing music for film and television, his credits include numerous indie-film soundtracks and a repertoire of songs cut by artists as diverse as Alison Krauss & Union Station, Waylon Jennings, Blackhawk, Dierks Bentley, Jon Randall, John Oates, Jerry Douglas, and Sam Bush. Black has forged a reputation as a true folk troubadour that has entertained audiences globally for over three decades. A master songwriter and performer in the tradition of the great storytellers, his passionate, soul-driven live performances of songs from his vast catalog are not to be missed.
