Jeff Black: A Road to Dead of Summer Event – Bennington, VT

“Jeff Black has the troubadour quality of a Steve Goodman, the poetic dignity of Bruce Springsteen, and the outer-fringe edge of Townes Van Zandt. We kid you not.”
-Steve Morse The Boston Globe

His songs appear on recordings by Alison Krauss, Waylon Jennings, Jerry Douglas, John Oates, Dierks Bently, Blackhawk, Jo-el Sonnier and more. Sam Bush has championed him with recording many of his songs including “Same Ol’ River” and “Gold Heart Locket”. Jeff co-wrote the title track to Sam’s Grammy nominated album “Circles Around Me”. His music can be heard on the soundtracks of “The Thing Called Love”, the acclaimed PBS documentary “The Appalachians” and Sundance Film Festival’s Grand Jury Prize Winner for Best Drama “Steel City”. BlackHawk’s cover of Black’s song, “That’s Just About Right,” was a Top 10 Country single. BlackHawk’s cover of Black’s song, “King Of The World” was a Top 30 Country single. A master songwriter and performer, Black was voted one of the top 100 Folk artists of the last 25 years by Boston’s WUMB listeners.

Jeff will be featured at the Dead of Summer Music Festival Bloody Mary Sunday fundraiser event on July 13th.
