Ruthie Foster

Fresh on the heels of winning the Best Contemporary Blues Album for her latest album “Mileage” at the 2025 Grammy Awards, Ruthie Foster is making her debut performance at the Harrison Festival of the Arts. However, she is no stranger to Western Canada, having been a returning headliner at major Canadian festivals like Vancouver and Edmonton for the past few decades. Ruthie was raised in a family of gospel singers in the small rural town of Gause, TX, and first learned to sing during worship services at her community church. With a chapel-bred bravado trained on the works of powerful women such as Mavis Staples and Aretha Franklin, her sound grew into an inspired blend of blues, folk, and gospel. “Mileage”, released on the legendary Sun record label, finds her reflecting on a life full of professional triumphs, personal loss, and a musical journey that has garnered her multiple Grammy nominations and collaborations with luminaries such as a Bonnie Raitt, The Allman Brothers, Susan Tedeschi, and Derek Trucks.

What do I need to bring?

A part from good vibes, nothing. We recommend bringing proof of purchase of the tickets, but we will have your name on a list and be able to check you in without anything.
