Eureka Shoes

Delicious three-part harmonies, other-worldly twin fiddling, and lyrics that will break your heart and put it back together again better.

Eureka Shoes is a new songwriting power trio of Charlie Burnham, Jean Rohe, and Skye Soto Steele, longtime friends and collaborators who have each achieved notoriety in their respective worlds of jazz, folk, and pop music, and now join forces to bring you an entirely new sound.

Who's Eureka Shoes?

Charlie Burnham is one of Brooklyn's own musical treasures-- a fiddler, singer, and multi-instrumentalist renowned for the depth of his musicality and imagination, who over the course of five decades has collaborated with distinguished artists from Cassandra Wilson to Norah Jones to Wynton Marsalis to Living Color.
Jean Rohe is perhaps best known as the author of our nation’s next National Anthem Arise! Arise! and for her 2019 Independent Music Award winning release, Sisterly (Best Adult Contemporary Album). She has been stirring up trouble around the country with her unique brand of folk-songwriting-activism since before she could come in the front door of the bar.
Skye Soto Steele got his start playing fiddle in the subways after moving to N.Y.C. at 17, and has gone on to work with a rainbow of artists ranging from platinum singer-songwriter Vanessa Carlton to salsa legends Tipica Novel, in between self-releasing four albums of his own songs and touring independently across the US and Europe.
The three had been friends and collaborators for over a decade when the offer of a recording retreat from Looking Glass Arts in the Catskills spurred them to combine forces as never before to become... Eureka Shoes.
Rounded off by bass virtuoso Rashaan Carter, Eureka Shoes has a sound that is one part string quartet, two parts jazz combo, and soulful all the way down.

Love for Beautalina

"One of the purest and most finely crafted examples of American Folk Music that I've heard in years. I cannot praise this album enough. It's truly a transformative experience."
Jay Sweet, The Jazz Real Book podcast 
 
"Seamless vocal harmonies and intricate acoustic arrangements. The album's sound is reminiscent of Joni Mitchell and CSNY, with a dash of jazz spontaneity thrown in for good measure. It's the kind of record that makes you feel like you're sitting in on an intimate jam session among friends."

"Their powerful first album— Beautalina— a melody-driven narrative grappling with themes of mourning and renewal.”
