Description
Those who have followed Ruthie Foster’s musical history know that she can ignite any stage with her combustible blend of soul, blues, rock, folk, and gospel. Ruthie’s astonishing voice has taken her on an amazing ride from humble church choir beginnings in rural Texas, to a tour of duty with the US Navy Band, and finally back to Austin and an award-filled music career. Ruthie has been nominated for a Best Contemporary Blues Album GRAMMY Award four times, and has won multiple Blues Music and Austin Music Awards, plus the Grand Prix du Disque from Academie Charles-Cros in France. Ruthie is a 2024 inductee into the Texas Songwriters Association Hall of Fame, and on the day of her 2022 album release, Healing Time, Ruthie received a Star on the sidewalk outside of the historic Paramount Theatre in Austin, TX, just the sixth artist to be honored.
