American folk and psychedelic singer-songwriter from Colorado.
Josephine Foster is an acclaimed American artist known for her unique blend of folk and psychedelic music. Hailing from Colorado, Foster has captivated audiences with her soulful vocals and poetic songwriting. With a career spanning over two decades, she has released numerous albums that showcase her versatile talent and artistic vision. Whether performing solo or collaborating with other musicians, Foster's music transcends genres and transports listeners to a world of introspection and emotion.
With each album, Josephine Foster continues to push the boundaries of traditional folk music, infusing it with elements of psychedelia and experimental sounds. Her hauntingly beautiful voice resonates with authenticity, drawing inspiration from diverse musical influences such as blues, country, and classical music. Known for her introspective lyrics and captivating melodies, Foster's songs have a timeless quality that speaks directly to the heart.

Josephine Foster's 'No More Lamps In the Morning' is a new folk route, a stripped down starsailor vector connecting heller to highwater. Foster, on nylon string guitar, and husband Victor Herrero, accompanying on Portuguese guitar, together weave intimate readings of songs spanning Foster's songwriting career including selections from recent albums "This Coming Gladness" (2008) and "I'm a Dreamer" (2013) and back to Born Heller (2004). Foster's new route is a free, chromatic music, a tuneful montana of mind—an expansive harmonic space dominated by Rif mountain on the horizon. As highwater as the music is, as broad the stylistic palette of the musicians, the music really exists in service of the lyrics. Two of the songs on No More Lamps are poems by Rudyard Kipling and James Joyce given musical settings by Foster. The rest arguably are musical settings of her own poems strengthened in a fiery crucible of guitars (and on 2 tracks Gyða Valtýsdóttir's cello) in which dissonant notes bend and quaver as wirefork embers, dying without affecting the glowing tonal fire which unites contrary forces in a Moroccan speakeasy. She and Herrero have 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. Recorded live to tape by Henry Hirsch and Patrick Higgins at Future-Past Studios, Hudson, NY, in February 2014, the record was mixed by Patrick Higgins.
