The Washington Parish Fair Stage Committee is excited to announce that fan-favorite Frank Foster will headline the Friday night performances on October 22 at 9:30 pm.
Foster embodies musical independence at its highest level. He not only has taken the road less traveled, but the road almost never traveled. Acting as his own record label, management, booking agency and publishing company, he has managed to find success that some major label artist may never find. This rural Louisiana native and former oilfield man has taken his songs from the campfire to the coliseum seemingly overnight; all the while gaining a following of fans whose loyalty is unmatched.
His musical journey started in 2011 with the release of his first album Rowdy Reputation. To follow that up, he released his second album Red Wings and Six Strings which debuted at #30 on the Billboard Country Charts and #1 on Billboard's South Central U.S. Heat Seeker's chart. Foster's next five albums also all debuted on the Billboard Country Charts. Southern Soul was released in 2013; Rhythm and Whiskey was released in 2014; his early 2016 release, Boots On The Ground, debuted at #7. Later in 2016, he released Good Country Music and in 2018, he released his seventh album, Til I'm Gone, which debuted at #2 on the Billboard Country Album Sales Charts.
He's a singer, a songwriter and his own boss. He refuses to let anyone water down his kind of country music. If he lives it, he writes it; if he writes it, he sings it; if he sings it, he believes it. Foster is definitely an entertainer who will help fairgoers forget 2020 and have an awesome time at the 2021 fair.
