With a soulful, down-to-earth, and playful personality that bridges the divide between entertainer and audience, Levi Foster is a natural showman who has been making a living by performing country and rock cover tunes at venues and festivals throughout his home state of Virginia and beyond. After hightailing to Nashville in his mid-20s to seek a full-time career as a songwriter and artist, Foster opened shows for greats like Ashley McBride, Trace Adkins, John Conlee, Lorrie Morgan, Pam Tillis, Vince Gill, and The Time Jumpers.
Foster has since signed a publishing and production deal with co-partners Banner Music and Middleground Music. Having released his first singles and EPs to streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music this year, Foster has recently finished recording his debut album titled We Made Fire (due out August 29th) with Nashville veteran drummer/musician/producer Ken Coomer (Uncle Tupelo, Wilco, etc.).
Today, Glide is offering an exclusive premiere of “Emerald Eyes,” a vintage country duet featuring Gloria Anderson. It’s a classic love song set to lilting guitars, pedal steel, drums, and bass and is the second song off his debut album. With plenty of twang-soaked melancholy that ultimately warms the soul, the song feels like a true throwback to the golden era of country duets in the 50s and 60s. Foster’s vocals are smooth as hell, while Anderson offers her own sweet touch through Dolly Parton-like singing and spoken word verses. The video captures this chemistry.
