We Begin Here

A collection of songs with a focus on narratives (“Good With the Good Earth,” “The Pacific’s Waters,” “Dust of the Great Plains”) and history (“We Begin Here,” “Street Cars,” “Orpheus and Eurdyice”).

“Ian Foster is a serious songwriter and a seriously good one, having cut his teeth on the local folk and pop music scene. A storyteller and character sketch lyricist, comparisons can be drawn with David Gray, Hayden, Conor Oberst, and pioneers of the sub genre like Jackson Browne and Paul Simon. A talent to watch for.”
