Josephine Foster returns to OTO for two-day residency with her masterful self-honed songbook - some singalongs, some deep atmospheric tales that leave the listener yearning to know more. Josephine Foster is not only a captivating songwriter and performer, but also is daring, versatile and irreverent in her approach to subject and form. Foster will be performing solo on the first evening before being joined by longstanding collaborator and musical foil, Victor Herrero for a duo set the second night.
"It's a pretty much perfect set, a quiet masterclass in songwriting with melodies that find the sweet spot in unexpected places and a self-possessed beauty that only grows with every listen." – Time Out, review of I'm A Dreamer
Coloradoan Josephine Foster’s route is a free, chromatic music, a tuneful montana of mind–an expansive harmonic space dominated by mountains on the horizon. As highwater as the music is, as broad the stylistic palette of it, her music really exists in service of the lyrics.
She has performed for an audience of burros, concerts of Federico Garcia Lorca poems set to music. A music of wandering and a music of roots. An impermanent tradition passed down for generations. Let your loved ones know.
'Satoshi Yamada ( / Hi / Zo / U / Bu / Tu ) is playing with some instruments and his manager's voice. But unfortunately he can't distinguish the pronunciation of l and r. Jesus, don't you think that's a great disaster? Let's make a special concession like all of the cameramen should be free.
