Having performed in front of satisfied audiences since he was 16 in his home state of Tennessee, Garrison Foster aka Gary Foster is now considered a "native" Californian after living here almost 20 years. His home for the first 4 years was Pepperdine University in Malibu where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Theater.
With a Theater scholarship in one hand and a songwriting publishing contract in the other, Gary was destined to be a performer. After graduation, he went to work as a staff writer and songplugger for legendary music publisher Al Gallico (Animals, Zombies, Pretenders, Tammy Wynette, Olivia Newton-John + dozens other). It was here that his musical talents began to blossom working with Crystal Gayle's band in the late 80's and Bonnie Raitt's band in the 90's.
In addition to being a singer/songwriter, Garrison recently performed a segment of his show: "A Tribute to the Singer/Songwriter of the 70's" focusing on the Eagles. With Dennis Quaid-ish looks, an artistic voice that bears an incredible likeness to both Don Henley and Glenn Frey, the show was a hit.
Currently he is rehearsing the show while continuing to write new original material with a focus on the Contemporary Christian market.
Gary lives in Marina del Rey, California where he owns a boat and considers sport fishing among his favorite hobbies along with camping, horseback riding and cycling.
