MUSIC: Ruthie Foster

Description

 5x-GRAMMY® Award Nominee & 10x-Blues Music Award-Winning Singer and Songwriter RUTHIE FOSTER has been described by ROLLING STONE as "Pure magic to watch and hear" and by NPR as a "Vocal powerhouse." Ruthie won the 2023 Blues Music Award for "Contemporary Blues Female Artist of the Year", and in 2021 she won "Blues Vocalist of the Year" at the Blues Music Awards (her 7th win!). Ruthie comes from the tight-knit musical community of Austin, Texas, where it's tough to get away with posturing. You either bring it, or you don't. If you do, word gets around. And one day, you find yourself duetting with Bonnie Raitt, or standing onstage with the Allman Brothers at New York's Beacon Theater and trading verses with Susan Tedeschi. In 2023, Ruthie's was Nominated for a GRAMMY® Award ("Best Contemporary Blues Album") for 'Healing Time'. BLUES BLAST MAGAZINE raves, "Fosters knock you off your feet vocals will find your soul and quite possibly make the hair on the back of your neck stand up!"
