The Glen Foster Group set to release full length CD fall of 2011

May 14, 2011 - PRLog -- GLEN FOSTER GROUP

The Glen Foster Group was formed in 2008 and released their debut CD titled “Trusted Tried & True” in the fall of 2009.  Trio members are Glen Foster on guitar and lap steel, Pat Shonwise on bass and Glenn Olsen on drums.  They have developed a strong and loyal following playing small clubs and festivals in western Canada.  

Glen Foster started his music career in the 1970’s with WEA recording artist Ray Materick in Toronto, Ontario, working with Daniel Lanois, Don Potter, Gene Martynec and other industry notables.  As leader of the band Falcon, he produced 2 full length albums along with several single releases and videos.   He is a multi instrumentalist playing guitars, harmonica, dobro, lap steel, keyboards, mandolin, bass and others.  

The Glen Foster Group has produced a 4 song EP titled “Pixelated Man” which was co-produced by Glen and Rick Salt in 2010, and initially released to Canadian radio stations.  The lead single off the EP is titled “Pixelated Man” which “ makes several references to song titles from the band’s previous album release (Trusted, Tried & True) and draws a parallel between the singer’s character and the fractured nature of being in a rock and roll band”, states Glen.  This song has a hot and twangy guitar intro, a catchy surf-rock beat, and an unusual spacey vocal texture.  You feel the cutting electric edge on the track over top of a twisting, dodging chord sequence.  

The style of music that Glen Foster Group creates incorporates vital and interesting lyrics, stylized melodies, creative chord structures and crisp, modern production.  Putting all this technique into one great package takes extraordinary talent and this trio surely has that.  
The full length CD is set for release sometime in the fall of 2011, but the EP is currently available at most digital store fronts.  

This is one group that audiences love seeing live.  Their shows are hard hitting, ranging from fast paced electric rockers to haunting acoustic vocal ballads, and everything in between.  

The Glen Foster Group is currently working with A & R Select based in West Hollywood, Ca. for licensing, publishing, recording and/or placement opportunities.
