Ruthie Foster

-Highly anticipated performance from Ruthie Foster, rescheduled from last year. All previously purchased tickets will be honored.-

Three-time Grammy nominee, and 2024 Grammy Blues Winner, Ruthie Foster transforms sorrow into career defining soul+blues joyful journey. From a family of gospel singers, as a teenager, Foster began fronting blues bands in the bars of Waco, Texas. Hoping for a wider view of the world she served our nation in the US Navy and was cherry-picked to sing with the naval band, PRIDE. Following her tour of duty, Foster headed to NYC and readily scored a record deal with Atlantic. The label had the intention of cultivating her as a budding pop star, but she preferred, instead, to explore the various strains of American roots music that informed her childhood. When her mother fell ill in 1993, Ruthie suddenly returned to Texas to care for her.

Her list of honors is extensive. She is a native of Austin, Texas but travels extensively all over the world. Her concert at Bartlett Arboretum will be one for the books.
