Born into a family steeped in gospel tradition, Ruthies earliest influences were the voices of her mother, grandmother, and the gospel singers she grew up listening to artists like the Gospel Keynotes and the Blind Boys of Alabama. However, her path to becoming a solo artist wasnt a straightforward one. Despite a deep love for music, Ruthie initially shied away from the spotlight, preferring to play guitar, piano, and write songs for others.
Growing up in the rich musical tapestry of Gause, Texas, Ruthie found herself drawn to the diverse sounds and arrangements of local gospel choirs and musicians. Despite her reluctance to take center stage, Ruthies talent was undeniable, and her mother encouraged her to step up and sing out. Now, with five Grammy nominations to her name, Ruthie Foster has achieved a long-awaited milestone: her very first Grammy win.
Her latest album, Mileage, released on the legendary Sun Records, won Best Contemporary Blues Album at the 2025 Grammy Awards a triumph not only for Foster, but also a historic first-ever Grammy win for Sun Records. The recognition underscores the power of Fosters artistry and the enduring legacy of a label that continues to champion timeless voices. WOLF JETT (SOLO)When hes not fronting local Santa Cruz band Wolf Jett, Chris stays true to his folk, soul and country blues roots.
As versatile a musician as you will find, Chris is able to seamlessly intertwine classic and obscure covers with his seemingly timeless originals. He can play to any crowd under any circumstances, and hes proven it time and time again, whether busking the streets of Europe, or touring the sweatiest clubs and hushed house parties across this good ol USofA.
