Ruthie Foster (Usa) - Fully Seated Show

Multiple Grammy® nominee and winner of several Blues Music Awards, Ruthie Foster's musical journey is as eclectic and vibrant as her soulful voice. Born into a family steeped in gospel tradition, Ruthie's earliest influences were the voices of her mother, grandmother, and the gospel singers she grew up listening to — artists like the Gospel Keynotes and the Blind Boys of Alabama. However, her path to becoming a solo artist wasn't a straightforward one. Despite a deep love for music, Ruthie initially shied away from the spotlight, preferring to play guitar, piano, and write songs for others.

Growing up in the rich musical tapestry of Gause, Texas, Ruthie found herself drawn to the diverse sounds and arrangements of local gospel choirs and musicians. Despite her reluctance to take centre stage, Ruthie's talent was undeniable, and her mother encouraged her to step up and sing out. She stood out as a young black girl with a guitar in a choir scene dominated by pianos, but with her grandmother’s vocal coaching and encouragement from her mother and the church community, she recognised her own power — as a songwriter, a musician, and as a captivating singer.

Now, with a new album, Mileage, recently released on Sun Records, Ruthie Foster stands as a testament to the power of authenticity and resilience in music

We look forward to welcoming you to the Theatre Royal.
