Streaming Stars, Then and Now

Ian Foster, native of Newfoundland, Canada, is a storyteller. That music and film are the ways he tells those stories only makes the telling richer still. Once described by CBC's Bob Mersereau as being "a fine example of what a 21st century folk performer should be doing," Foster continues to evolve and defy genre, as his latest forthcoming album and film project Close to the Bone: The Film (2023) illustrates.

Ian has been compared to diverse artists like Bruce Cockburn, Daniel Lanois, The War on Drugs, Josh Ritter and more, depending on the album of his that you're listening to. Meanwhile, his film scores draw more on Sigur Ros and Olafur Arnalds textures and ambience. This is not a bug, it's a feature: it all comes from a love of sonic exploration that has only grown as Ian's career has moved between touring around the world and producing albums for a diverse set of artists.

Ian has toured in Canada, the U.S, Germany, The Netherlands, Austria, and Italy, and has had his music played on radio internationally. He is a MusicNL and ECMA (East Coast Music Award) winner, a finalist for the International Songwriting Competition, and has numerous co-writes to his credit, including the legendary folk songwriter Ron Hynes.

Ian performs and records both solo, and as a duo with his longtime partner Nancy Hynes, with whom he released the multi-award winning album A Week in December in 2018.
