   About Jen Foster





Jen Foster is an award-winning singer/songwriter who runs her independent record label, Fosterchild Records, in Nashville, TN. Influenced heavily by classic artists such as the Rolling Stones, U2, and Bob Dylan, Jen has spent a large part of the last 2 years in a Nashville recording studio working on her upcoming third album, "Thirty-Nine". Along with her producer, Greg Droman, Jen put together an all-star group of musicians to perform on the tracks, including Peter Stroud (Sheryl Crow), Rami Jaffee (Foo Fighters, The Wallflowers), Sean Hurley (John Mayer, Vertical Horizon), and Fred Eltringham (The Wallflowers, Dixie Chicks, The Wreckers). The project embodies a blend of sounds which range from soft, lazy-day melodies to more raucous guitar-driven tracks. Some of these new songs have already garnered Jen national attention: the single “Closer to Nowhere” recently won first place in the International Songwriting Competition (Triple A category) and the accompanying music video for the song hit 1 for several weeks on the LOGO network. In addition, Jen's original song, “Venice Beach”, was recently a finalist in the 2008 John Lennon Songwriting Contest, as well as in the New York Songwriter's Circle. Previously, Jen has also secured some impressive Film/TV placements, with songs placed in the popular television soap opera "All My Children" as well as a recent placement in an "American Pie" movie sequel.

When she's not busy recording or writing and co-writing songs in Nashville, Jen also tours nationally and has shared stages with Melissa Etheridge, John Mayer, Patty Griffin, and many others.

Jen's music, including her newly released project Thirty-Nine, is currently available at iTunes, CD Baby, Amazon.com, and at her official website - www.jenfoster.com.
