Ruthie Foster: Grammy-Nominated Blues Powerhouse

With her stirring blend of soul, roots rock, blues and gospel, Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Ruthie Foster has a voice that carries the weight of experience. Whether she's belting out the blues on "Runaway Soul," turning the Maya Angelou poem "Phenomenal Woman" into a feminist anthem, writing an original song with all the power of an old black spiritual in "Lord Remember Me," or adding a dose of soul to an old Crosby, Stills and Nash cover ("Long Time Gone"), it's impossible not to be affected by Foster's talent. It's no wonder her last three albums have received Grammy nominations and earned Foster an impressive list of blues accolades. Catch this dynamic performer when she takes to the stage of New York's Tribeca Performing Arts Center.
