About
David Foster on Tour
Though he's best known as the behind-the-scenes producer and songwriter for megastars like Celine Dion, Michael Buble and Josh Groban, David Foster isn't afraid to step out in front of the mic on occasion. In 2018, he launched The Hitman Tour, a special series of intimate shows that saw him perform selections from his vast repertoire of hits on the piano alongside a revolving cast of guest vocalists (including his wife, Katharine McPhee) and share stories of the songs' creation. The tour proved so successful that Foster extended it through 2019 and into 2020. But Foster isn't one to rest on his past glories: April 2020 sees the release of his first solo album in 24 years, Eleven Words, which applies the stripped-down piano setting of the Hitman Tour to a set of 11 new originals.
David Foster in Concert
Look up any adult-contemporary pop hit from the past 40 years, and there's a good chance David Foster's name is somewhere in the credits. Over the course of his storied career, the Victoria, British Columbia, impresario has mentored some of the biggest names in pop and pushed veteran rock artists to even loftier levels of success, earning some 16 Grammys and Order of Canada honors in the process. After first breaking into the music industry playing keyboards for Canadian soul-rock troupe Skylark, Foster spent the '70s as a session player for the likes of George Harrison and Diana Ross, before scoring his first high-profile writing credit on Earth, Wind & Fire's classic 1979 slow jam "After the Love Has Gone." But through his early-'80s collaborations with Chicago, Foster minted his signature glossy sound, transforming the group from a jazzy classic-rock warhorse into a soft-rock hit machine before applying that Midas touch to Lite-FM divas like Celine Dion and Whitney Houston in the '90s. Amazingly, Foster's hitmaking prowess has only grown more potent since then — in the 21st century, he turned Michael Buble from a wedding singer into a world-class crooner and guided Josh Groban's crossover from classical to pop. But for all his successes behind the boards, Foster has never lost his passion for performing, by periodically tending to his own career as a solo artist in between his production work.

Rating: 2 out of 5 Disappointed
by Pacino on 10/17/10Mandalay Bay Resort - Las VegasHaving gone to the first David Foster & Friends, which I thought was excellent, I was literally thrilled to have the chance to see Natalie Cole, Earth Wind & Fire, Rueben Studdard, Charice, Jackie Evanco, and the rest, but the constant "retakes" and David being so into himself was a bit much. Constantly talking aout his 3-4 wives as if that was a badge of honor, and talk,ing about his being the biggest part of many of the entertainers success was arrogant. It also seemed that the orchestra wasn't prtepared to move onto the next song with their shuffling music arrangements around, and waiting for David to signal them to move faster. I wojld have to say I have seen enough of David, and not enough of his "Friends".

by EddieMan on 10/17/10Mandalay Bay Resort - Las VegasThe show was very compelling, we couldn't leave till the last note was played. A wide array of talent, exposed me to some younger people like Ne Yo, who was excellent. Everyone was excellent, and David was down to earth, funny, and I had no idea he had written all those hits and with all those people. It was one of the best shows I've ever seen, and I see a LOT..

Rating: 5 out of 5 Foster Gave It His All
by Lvlylady on 10/16/10David Foster & Friends - Las VegasAlmost four hours of huge artist, beautiful sound quality, entertaining stage presence with his obvious comfort in his gift. The orchestra and performance level of the artist left me still getting chills even the next day as I was telling my work team and guest all about how magical it all was. The love of his work screams from this production and in turn the love those he has mentored, produced and written beautiful music for shows in there dedication to projecting the beauty. So, so wonderful to experience. Thank you David and friends.
