2025 Grammy winner, Ruthie Foster drops by for our Season Five Premier to talk about her brand new album, “Mileage” and a recap of her Australian tour earlier this year. She talks about her Great Uncle singing at church when she was a little girl, recognizing the power of performance even at an early age. We also discussed her early piano and guitar lessons, knowing her worth as a woman in the Blues, serving in the Navy, learning hand signals from Paul Schafer, caring for her Mother in her last months…and then we circled back to discussion of recording at the legendary Sun Studios in Memphis for her latest project. It’s a powerful kickoff to our fifth season, so come on in, and give it a listen! Oh, and be sure to pick up your copy of “Mileage” TODAY!
