Ruthie Foster Tour Dates and Upcoming Concerts

Ruthie Foster's musical journey is as eclectic and vibrant as her soulful voice. Born into a gospel-rich family in Gause, Texas, Ruthie was influenced by her mother, grandmother, and artists like the Gospel Keynotes and the Blind Boys of Alabama. Initially shy, Ruthie embraced her talent, thanks to encouragement from her family and church community. After studying music and serving in the Navy, where she performed with the Navy band Pride, Ruthie signed a development deal with Atlantic Records and honed her skills in New York City's songwriting community. She eventually returned to Texas, blending blues, folk, and gospel into a unique sound. Ruthie's acclaimed albums include Runaway Soul, The Phenomenal Ruthie Foster, The Truth According to Ruthie Foster, and Healing Time. She has collaborated with artists like Bonnie Raitt, Susan Tedeschi, and Derek Trucks, further highlighting her versatility. With five Grammy nominations and numerous awards, she remains a powerful voice in music. Her latest album, Mileage, to be released on the legendary Sun Records, reflects on her life and musical journey. Produced and co-written by Tyler Bryant and co-written with Rebecca Lovell (Bryant's wife and one-half of Larkin Poe), the album features powerful tracks like "Rainbow" and "Heartshine." Ruthie’s rich storytelling and authenticity have captivated and inspired audiences worldwide. With Mileage, she invites listeners on a soul-stirring voyage, echoing her rich heritage and life experiences.
