Event Description
Eilen Jewell, the reigning "Queen of the Minor Key”, brings her Fall 2022 Tour to The Rogue with very special guest Jeff Plankenhorn opening the show.
American Songwriter describes Eilen Jewell as “one of America’s most intriguing, creative and idiosyncratic voices.” Jewell leads a tight quartet that blends influences of surf-noir, early blues, classic country, folk, and 1960s era rock ’n’ roll. For well over a decade, they’ve toured relentlessly for legions of fans from Boston to Boise and Madrid to Melbourne, playing large festivals, theaters, rock clubs, and coffeehouses. Eilen’s fans have marveled at her warmth and onstage humor alongside her beautiful songs and fiery performances.
In addition to six of her own full-length albums, Jewell has released two albums with her country-gospel side-project, The Sacred Shakers; a tribute album to Loretta Lynn (Butcher Holler); and a recent album of rare blues covers, Down Hearted Blues. Her latest album release is Gypsy (2019).
The Los Angeles Daily News said, “Sometimes as darkly damaged as Lucinda Williams, at others as defiant and teasing as prime Peggy Lee and always authentically Americana in the Gillian Welch tradition … She’s mighty good.”

Jeff Plankenhorn, singer-songwriter and all things strings multi-instrumentalist—guitar, lap steel, mandolin, piano, upright bass—began his career as a boy soprano in Ohio. After studying music theory and composition at University of Michigan, Texas beckoned when Ray Wylie Hubbard enticed Jeff to join his band. Slide guitar virtuoso, Jeff spent his early career backing the likes of Hubbard and Joe Ely. His patented lap slide guitar, “the Plank,” with a distinctive sound derived from the instrument's square neck and electric guitar body, netted him an Austin Music Award in 2017.
Now a potent solo artist, his larger-than-life presence on stage binds together a host of talents into a powerful whole. He has collaborated with Ray Wylie Hubbard, Joe Ely, Patty Griffin, Ruthie Foster, Bob Schneider, the Flatlanders, “Scrappy” Jud Newcomb, and more.
