Ian Foster, native of Newfoundland, Canada, is a storyteller. That music and film are the ways he tells those stories only makes the telling richer still. Once described by CBC’s Bob Mersereau as being “a fine example of what a 21st century folk performer should be doing,” Foster continues to evolve and defy genre, as his latest forthcoming album 'Nerve' illustrates.
Ian has been compared to diverse artists like <a href="spotify:artist:4sh4MHP7lhrSUakxwZzwqz" data-name="Bruce Cockburn">Bruce Cockburn</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:5S0AJvE9NB1kGrXRfYh690" data-name="Daniel Lanois">Daniel Lanois</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6g0mn3tzAds6aVeUYRsryU" data-name="The War On Drugs">The War On Drugs</a>, Josh Ritter, and more, depending on the album of his that you’re listening to. Meanwhile, his film scores draw more on <a href="spotify:artist:5gqhueRUZEa7VDnQt4HODp" data-name="Nils Frahm">Nils Frahm</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6UUrUCIZtQeOf8tC0WuzRy" data-name="Sigur Rós">Sigur Rós</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:7E3BRXV9ZbCt5lQTCXMTia" data-name="Ólafur Arnalds">Ólafur Arnalds</a> textures and ambience. This is not a bug, it’s a feature: it all comes from a love of sonic exploration that has only grown as Ian’s career has moved between touring around the world and producing albums for a diverse set of artists.
Ian has toured in Canada, the U.S, Germany, The Netherlands, Austria, and Italy, and has had his music played on radio internationally. He is a MusicNL and ECMA (East Coast Music Award) winner, a finalist for the International Songwriting Competition, and has numerous co-writes to his credit, including the legendary folk songwriter <a href="spotify:artist:0eKHvmTEyU7zftpjJdJOpE" data-name="Ron Hynes">Ron Hynes</a>.
