A multi-MusicNL and ECMA nominated artist, Foster has toured his modern folk/roots songs internationally since 2007.[1] His latest album, Sleeper Years (2017), garnered positive reviews, with Foster being described as "the model modern Newfoundland songwriter"[2] with "some of the most effective modern folk in the region."[3]
