Ruthie Foster brings that rich, clear Texas voice to the New Orleans Jazz Market on Friday at 7:30. She folds blues, gospel, and soul into songs that feel both grounded and luminous, pushing from a whisper to a shout without losing warmth. Multiple Grammy nominations back up a catalog built on craft and conviction, and she tends to turn a listening room into church by the last chorus.
Event details
"When hearing Ruthie Foster for the first time, it is the same as taking a bite out of the sweetest and most delectable piece of cake for the first time... how soulful Foster is!" states AMERICAN BLUES SCENE. "'Promise of a Brand New Day' is actually a consolidation of the various musical genres that have always been and remain a part of Foster's eclectic yet distinctive style. There's a fair share of blues ("Singing the Blues"), gospel (a rugged version of the Staple Singers' "The Ghetto"), country soul ("Outlaw"), R&B ("Second Coming") and soaring pop ("Learning to Fly")... it's another remarkably strong and mature entry in a sturdy body of work..." says AMERICAN SONGWRITER (Album Review of GRAMMY® Nominated 'Promise of a Brand New Day').
