(HUDSON, N.Y.) – Eilen Jewell, self-styled “queen of the minor key,” brings her blend of noirish rockabilly, surf-tinged country, retro-rock and jazzy folk to Club Helsinki Hudson on Friday, September 27, 2013, at 9pm. Idaho native Jewell, a favorite of Helsinki audiences, emerged from Boston’s thriving indie-roots music scene in the mid-oughts and has established herself as a solidly rootsy vocalist and Americana songwriter since that time.

Since her official 2006 debut, “Boundary County,” Jewell has surveyed a wide range of traditional musical styles, from the folk and jug band leanings of her early recordings through an album-length homage to Loretta Lynn and the country gospel of her work with the Sacred Shakers, through 2009’s “Sea of Tears,” which bristled with the electricity of 1960s UK garage rock and Chicago blues.

Jewell’s influences are as varied as Billie Holiday and Bob Dylan, Gillian Welch and Bessie Smith, Patsy Cline and Howlin’ Wolf. You might even hear some Roy Orbison and Elvis Presley in some of her work. Somehow she blends all these disparate approaches and more and carves out a unique musical niche for herself as singer, songwriter, guitarist and harmonica player.
