KUT at the Four Seasons: Ruthie Foster

March 20, 2012 2:17 pm by: Peter Babb

Austin musician Ruthie Foster is the definition of a vocal powerhouse. She grew up singing in her church's gospel choir in Gause, Texas, but it wasn't until her time in the Navy that she began to perform for big crowds and truly realize her own talent. She's been nationally recognized for her extraordinary talent, earning herself a nomination for the Grammy for Best Contemporary Blues Album in 2009 and a Blues Music Award for Best Female Artist of the Year in 2010.

The best feature of SXSW is finding bands that you didn't already know about; but sometimes in a sea of great new bands (and not so great new bands) you just want to stop and hear a band that you know will be good. And I knew Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings would be good, because let's face...
