Angie Foster: News

Months ago I became friends with the fine folks at Part-Time Rockers. We started talking and realized that I was visiting their hometown of Omaha this summer. Brent and his band Malnack offered to book a show with me and to even back me up on a bunch of my songs. Of course I agreed and we soon picked out songs to work on. As Brent and crew practiced in Omaha, they sent me mp3s of the band practices so I could hear their progress. Last Friday, we all met for the first time at Venue 162 in Council Bluffs, just hours before our show together. We were all pretty nervous about how we'd all gel but after the first couple of songs we felt right at home.  After playing a set with me, Malnack went on to rock out the night. We had an amazing time and we owe it all to Malnack for making the night a huge success!

Bree Noble's Women of Substance radio has been kind enough to feature three of my songs on her station. If you have time, please stop by bree's blog and take a look through the amazing breadth of playlists. Thanks so much to Bree for your tireless work to help promote independent female musicians.

Thanks to everyone who came out to my CD release party at the White Eagle on June 4th! We played to a packed house and had a ton of fun. Brian Odell, Kris Deelane and SweeJuice were all amazing. So honored that they were a part of my big night.

Pictures will be posted soon!

As many of you know, while music is my first love, I do have a day job. Part Time Rockers focuses on musicians like me who juggle both. I've been lucky enough to be interviewed on www.parttimerockers.com as one of their featured artists. The folks who run this site are also part time musicians and realized there were probably a lot of us out there. They've got some great interviews with a variety of bands and lots of tips for musicians. What's cool about my interview is they asked my band mates to participate too. So if you want to find out more about the great guys I play with, please take a look!

My song "Way It Should Be" was one of the top ten most popular songs in January and February on Women of Substance Radio. Thank you so much for taking the time to listen and for giving the song a thumbs up! Please continue to support this great station that focuses on melody driven female songwriters. http://networkedblogs.com/p26829486

My new song "Ordinary Day" will be also be featured on a new show on Women of Substance. For the month of March, it will be part of a lineup of songs that address a variety of social issues. My song was written in response to the Virgina Tech shootings. I went to a large university and could envision that same thing happening at my school. In the end, the song deals with healing and trying to move on. The show airs Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 4:00 p.m. Pacific time. If you like what you hear, please give it a "thumbs up" on live365.com. http://www.womenofsubstanceradio.com http://www.live365.com/stations/breenoble
