Ruthie Foster

Acclaimed Texas-born blues singer‑songwriter Ruthie Foster blends soulful gospel harmonies with gritty, roots‑driven guitar work, earning Grammy recognition for her powerful, genre‑spanning voice. Renowned for intimate, emotionally charged performances, Foster’s concerts often feature stripped‑down arrangements that highlight her storytelling, and she has built a reputation for connecting deeply with audiences in both club settings and larger venues. She will launch a five‑date headline tour in the fall, opening at the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts in Cerritos, California on Sep 13, 2026, followed by shows at 3rd and Lindsley in Nashville on Sep 17, The Lexington in London on Sep 23, Jimmy’s Jazz and Blues Club in Portsmouth on Oct 2, and The Vogel at Count Basie Center for the Arts in Red Bank on Oct 8. In addition, Foster will appear as part of the Sunken Lands Songwriting Circle on Sep 19, 2026, at Riceland Hall in Jonesboro.
