Fish Creek, Wis. (July 25, 2024) – On Tuesday, July 30, Door Community Auditorium (DCA) will present a double-bill of powerhouse songwriters: Chris Smither and Eilen Jewell.
Hailed as “one of America’s most intriguing, creative, and idiosyncratic voices” by American Songwriter, Eilen Jewell is one of a kind. The Boise, Idaho, songwriter built her career the old-fashioned way, touring relentlessly with the kind of irresistible live show that converts new audiences into instant fans. The Boston Globe calls Jewell “emotionally raw and riveting,” and NPR raves, “Eilen Jewell strikes a balance between heartache and triumph…a voice as clear and clean as a mountain stream.”
Songwriter, guitarist, and bluesman Chris Smither is another American original. It’s his effortless, rippling guitar (“one-third John Hurt, one-third Lightnin’ Hopkins, and one-third me”) that is distinctly Smither, along with his particular genius for reimagining the acoustic blues as a vehicle for rich, philosophically complex lyrics. His songs offer a commentary on the human condition that only Chris Smither can put a pen to. The Associated Press calls Smither “an American original—a product of the musical melting pot and one of the absolute best singer-songwriters in the world.”
The July 30 concert is made possible with support from major sponsors Door County Prairie Company, Parkwood Lodge, and Peninsula Pulse.
The show begins at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, July 30. Tickets range from $22-45. Advance tickets are recommended and can be made through the DCA box office, located at 3926 Highway 42 in Fish Creek. The box office is open Monday-Friday, 12-5 p.m. Tickets can be purchased in person, on the phone at (920) 868-2728, or online at www.dcauditorium.org.
