Doors and cash bar open at 6:15 p.m. Tickets are $20 at the door, but only $17 at www.sunflowertheatre.org. The Sunflower Theatre is at East Main and North Market streets in Cortez.

Foucault has built an international touring career of 10 studio albums critical accolades from The New Yorker and The Irish Times, attracting attention from fellow performers Don Henley and Van Dyke Parks, who offered to play on Foucault’s 2011 collection, “Horse Latitudes.”

Foucalt’s latest album, “Salt As Wolves,” is a collection of original songs that enlarges upon a catalog of songs about love, memory, God, desire, wilderness and loss.

Megan Burtt, who claims inspiration from Joni Mitchell and Bonnie Raitt, is a self-taught musician.
