An evening of modern folk with Josephine Foster, Victor Herrero, Joshua Marcus April 18, 2010

Join Bowerbird for a rare appearance by modern folk singer-songwriter Josephine Foster in the beautifully intimate setting of the historic Physick House. Josephine will be joined by Spanish guitarist Victor Herrero and Philadelphia's own Joshua Marcus.

Over the course of just a few years, Colorado native Josephine Foster has captivated audiences & critics alike through a magnetic patchwork of recordings ranging from broken spirited balladry as one half of Born Heller, fiery psych rock gestalt with her rock outfit The Supposed (All the Leaves Are Gone) to the voice of an outsider folk siren (Hazel Eyes, I will Lead You) and her latest collection, A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing. The one constant is the utterly overwhelming strength and seductive unease of her voice & the bravery of an iconoclastic spirit. "You might call Ms. Foster's eerie warbling old-fashioned, except that is evokes a scrambled past that exists only in her own vision: mountain songs that never were, spaced-out hybrids that never will be." (New York Times) "She's a Grace Slick for the 21st Century-and that's all grace, no slick. An amazing combination of God-given ability and formal skill. You can hear Jefferson Airplane in her music, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Joan Baez... She's also the one, out of that whole scene that has embraced the electric guitar, while at the same time being the most classical of them all." (Arthur Magazine).
