Ruthie Foster has been the pride of Texas for many years, but it has only been in the past few years that the rest of the United States has begun to discover this talented guitarist/singer/songwriter. A vocalist with the ability to wail like Mahalia Jackson or lightly touch a note like Shawn Colvin, Ruthie Foster has created her own unique, attractive blend of music style that simply deserves to be heard. Ruthie's songs are a remarkable hybrid of blues, gospel, roots and folk music, rich with honest spirituality and emotion. Her simply amazing vocal abilities have critics comparing her to Ella Fitzgerald and Aretha Franklin. Ruthie's passionate songs and scintillating live performances attract both the young and old for an uplifting experience of dancing, listening, laughing and even some crying.

"Whether singing blues or gospel, Ruthie Foster is a singer with a powerful, soul-stirring delivery that is easy to give yourself over to." —Mike Regenstreif, Montreal Gazette
