Chuck Prophet in Santa Fe»

Jeffrey Foucault at the Kitchen Sink»
In Jeffrey’s own words: I take the small roads when I can. I hit the small rooms with a couple old guitars and a 5-watt Skylark amp. Sometimes with a band, and then I stand up. Mostly its just me and my friend Billy Conway, the best drummer I ever heard. Then we both sit…
