CALLICOON, NY — The Western Ballroom will present the renowned Eilen Jewell Band, in a stop on their world tour, on Sunday, August 19. Singer songwriter Cliff Westfall will open the concert with his award-winning new releases. Jewell will be joined by her long-time road band of Jerry “cold-blooded” Miller, Shawn Supra and Jason Beek. Doors open at 4 p.m. Tickets cost $20.

Jewell bridges many elements of American music: country, swing, jazz, rockabilly. Known for country and blues to contemporary folk, her discography includes several albums of original material and one of Loretta Lynn’s covers. Elmore Magazine’s Mike Jurcovic writes, “With a voice that soars and croons where few chance to sail, keen, detailed songwriting, several wildly acclaimed albums, a neighborly, almost self-effacing stage demeanor and a crack, retro/country-billy band that swings you from Twin Peaks to Butcher Holler, Eilen Jewell never fails her audience.”

Westfall’s website proclaims, “New York-based country songwriter Westfall writes songs about heartache, loss, addiction… you know, funny songs. Or he can turn on a dime and dive headlong into a sentimental weeper.” He feels that the humor of people like Roger Miller, Don Gibson, and Del Reeves is neglected nowadays—and is doing what he can to repair the omission. WestSavingCoun tryMusic.com wrote in a review of his album “Baby, You win,” “Hot damn. I don’t know who the hell Cliff Westfall is or where he’s been hiding out for so many years, but he just released a hot shit country record that will whip the pants off of most others released this year and many from years prior....”
