Grammy Nominee Brings Blues to SJCT
With a combustible blend of soul, blues, rock, folk and gospel, Ruthie Foster fires up the stage at San Juan Community Theatre on Saturday, May 18 at 7:30 p.m.
Coming from humble church choir beginnings in rural Texas, Foster grew into a music career that has taken her on tours around the world, collaborating with a diverse list of artists including Warren Haynes, Big Head Todd, Bonnie Raitt and Paul Thorn. Her vibrant voice and indelible stage presence has earned praise around the country. The Boston Globe said of Foster: “…when someone with real chops like Ruthie Foster steps up, attention must be paid.”
She most recently received her second Grammy nomination (for her latest blues album, Let it Burn) as well as a 2013 Blues Music Award nomination for Traditional Blues Female Artist of the Year. In fact, in a nod to her astounding range, she has won seemingly contradictory Blues Music Association awards for both Best Traditional and Best Contemporary Female Blues Artist in back to back years (2010-2011).
In addition to her evening concert, Foster will host a guitar demonstration at the Theatre at 2:00 p.m. that afternoon. The demo is FREE thanks to support from the Western States Arts Foundation (WESTAF).
The Business Partner for the concert is Heuristic Enterprises. Tickets are $29 for adults, $15 for student reserved and $5 student RUSH at the door. The SJCT box office is open Tuesdays through Fridays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
