Sarah Elizabeth Foster Bio

On December 2, 2008, 27 year old, Houston-born, singer/songwriter Sarah Elizabeth Foster released her debut album, "Gardening from the Ground Up Part 1," on Studio Sarah Records, her eco-friendly, tech-savvy label based out of New York City's West Village. With the release of this album, Foster and her newly formed band, made up of cello, viola, acoustic guitar and some piano, introduced their authentic sound to the NYC music scene. An acoustic blend of 60's-inspired pop, fresh folk and classical motifs, Foster's rich, melodic voice and honest, introspective lyrics resonate with audiences, making for a compelling and engaging live show. Foster recently began a foray into live streaming her performances on her website, www.SarahElizabethFoster.com/movies, to offer a worldwide viewing opportunity. Because of their unique acoustic arrangement, you'll find that the live show is a more stripped down version of the album, a sound the group plans to explore on the next release. While crediting Dusty Springfield, The Beatles and Stevie Wonder as major influences and sources of inspiration, Foster's music aligns more with contemporary artists such as Jewel, Norah Jones and Ingrid Michaelson.
