Josephine Foster.

about

Josephine Foster is a singer-songwriter and composer whose voice seems to drift from another time. For over two decades, she has crafted a singular body of work. Her music carries the soul of old folk songs, operatic hymns, and blues, yet moves freely, like a dream half-remembered.

Born in the Mountain West, she sang in a log cabin church as a girl before setting out on the road, collecting songs and stories along the way. From Chicago’s back rooms to Spanish countryside villages and through Nashville’s studios, she has shaped a body of song that mirrors her wandering heart—restless, soulful, and unbound.

Playing guitar, piano/organ, harp, and autoharp, Foster moves effortlessly between structure and spontaneity. Her performances feel both intimate and otherworldly, drawing listeners into a world uniquely her own. A poet and visual artist as well as a musician, her playful ink pieces expand upon the lyrical themes of her songs.

“music that plays games with our ideas of time and space: simultaneously 200 years old and several minutes in the future.” The Guardian
