There’s something overwhelmingly pure and powerful about watching Ruthie Foster play her guitar and belt it all out - blues, folk, R&B and all kinds of music in between. This multiple Music Award winner is pure magic to watch and hear. Her deliberate pace and careful presentation are overflowing with many heartfelt moments and memories from her stoic career. This real American Treasure has a commanding presence and a nuanced sensibility that she learned in church as a young girl. Her sound has a real Rock of Ages, Gospel Dipped feel with a folk-rock edge. She is an exceptional storyteller, and spiritual being that knows life without tribulations is no life at all. A set with Ruthie Foster will renew your faith in humanity and have your spirits soaring.
