A rich collection of acoustic-guitar-based songs marked by sullen-flavored melodies, coupled with highly personal lyrics and an earnest delivery. A vocal style that is both confident and vulnerable with a drop of whimsy mixed in for good measure.

BIO:

Born and raised in Rochester, NY, Liz Foster was passionate about music even as a young girl. Influenced by artists like Joan Baez, Cat Stevens, and Joni Mitchell, she was drawn to the idea that one could tell stories with words and music, and wrote her first original song when she was eleven. At age eighteen, Liz moved to Los Angeles to live with her father, veteran actor Robert Forster, and was soon involved in the local music scene. In the fall of 2001, Liz released "Indecision," a self-produced, debut album marked by fiery passion, true love, nostalgia, uncertainty and anguish. Her long-time love affair with poetry has greatly influenced her songwriting and surfaces throughout the record in songs about family, friends and lovers.

"Liz Foster is a captivating folk artist. She weaves melody and story
together with the grace and soul of a poet..."

"Liz Fosters' voice has the earthy qualities of Emmy Lou Harris...one listen and you will find yourself traveling through each song as if they could somehow be your own intimate story."

"Poetry meets storytelling."

-Ronna Jones - Singer/songwriter

Words alone are truly divine
But joined with music, tingles my spine
It steals the very breath I make
And passions borne begin to wake
Inspiration takes the lead
Finding soil, planting seeds
Then sunshine pulls at the thick
Not too soon, not too quick
Softly, slowly as it grows
Here and there a song unfolds
Words and music intertwined
What better treasure is there to find?

    Liz Foster rocked my world tonight. She combines sex & incredible original music...which is like - stir it up, eat it for breakfast, & start your day out right! " - Jodie Miller, writer/comic (After a live show at The Hotel Cafe in Hollywood)

  • Soulfull and Spectacular
    author: Sabrina

    Finally, someone I want to listen to over and over again since Sheryl Crow! Thank you for sharing your gift and soul in this amazing collaboration known as "A CD."

  • author: Beth Motschenbacher - Privy Magazine

    With guitar arrangements reminiscent of Tim Buckley and exploratory and therapeutic lyrics recalling the frankness of Joni Mitchell, Liz Foster ushers in a new wave of singer-songwriters on her debut Indecision. Foster’s vocals combine the strong luminosity of Sarah McLachlan with the feisty range of Dolores O’Riordan. One of the stand-out tracks, “Around My Crown,” features enchanting percussion that serves as the perfect companion to Foster’s soaring vocals.

  • Excellent stuff in the vein of Melissa Etheridge or Sara McLachlan.
    author: Gene Firmin

    I heartily recommend this CD. Liz has a strong voice and a great way with words. I would compare her to Melissa Etheridge or Sara McLachlan without hesitation. "In Time" is a cut worth the price of the CD!

  • meeting the mystery, pain and love of life head-on
    author: The Rising of Women in Music

    Liz Foster covers the emotional scope on Indecision meeting the mystery, pain and love of life head-on. From the title-cut to Looking for Helpful Clowns she shows her professional and saleable talents. Her poetic delivery on cuts like Without a Piece of You, will entice even the un-poetic into a new listening pleasure for the classic art of poetry.
