Singer-songwriter Jeffrey Foucault has taken "the small roads," building his independent career through a relentless international touring schedule and his critically-acclaimed recordings. The New Yorker praises his work as "Stark, literate songs that are as wide-open as the landscape of his native Midwest." Foucault joins John Floridis on this episode of "Musician's Spotlight."

(Broadcast: "Musicians' Spotlight," 9/29/16 and 1/5/17. Listen weekly on on the radio Thursdays, 7:30 p.m., or via podcast.)
