Ruthie Foster
The music of Ruthie Foster is in fact the soundtrack of a young but remarkable life. From her beginnings in the Brazos Valley of Central Texas, she was launched by a strong mother and a large supportive family down a path whose pitfalls Ruthie learned to avoid and whose destination she charted on her own, with talent, faith and determination lighting her way. Since that time, Foster has progressed with her vocals through albums and a steady regimen of hard work, whether fronting a full band or working solo, writing at her digs in Austin or taking it to the people.
