Alternative / Folk / Blues / Experimental

Josephine Foster, American singer-songwriter, composer, lyricist and visual artist, has been creating a unique body of work for over 20 years now.

Born in 1974 in the mountains of the American West, she sang hymns as a girl in the log cabin church of her hometown. With the original goal of becoming an opera singer, she moved to Chicago in 1998, where she eventually took a different path, recording an album of children's songs and psychedelic rock records. She set Emily Dickinson poems to music, recorded obscure 19th century German songs and made other folk-rock albums. Foster lived in the Spanish countryside for more than 10 years and released albums in Spanish with her husband Victor Herrero. Her music always carries the soul of old folk songs, operatic hymns and the blues, yet moves freely, "like a half-remembered dream", her voice seeming to spring from a bygone era. Foster plays guitar, piano/organ, harp and autoharp and moves effortlessly between structure and spontaneity.
