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.

    Great experience!!

    by Lynn on 3/8/24Atlanta Symphony Hall - Atlanta

    The show was great from beginning to end!! Would have like to have seen Katherine McPhee singing as part of the last song of the concert. The banter was fun. Loved learning more about both of them. Hate we missed seeing their son in person. More Smash songs and clips from American Idol.

    Another AMAZING performance!

    by Johnny Kay on 3/7/24Atlanta Symphony Hall - Atlanta

    I can't think of a better way to spend a Sunday afternoon than with Katherine McPhee, David Foster, and the WONDERFUL tenor who's name escapes me. He WAS a finalist on America' Got Talent. The duo + the tenor sang through the David Foster songbook, among a few other composer/lyricists as well. The highlight for me again was Foster's masterpiece, "The Prayer"and the tenor sing an Italian aria. Both took me to another place. A most enjoyable afternoon!

    I loved the concert

    by Deni on 3/6/24Atlanta Symphony Hall - Atlanta

    David and Katherine were very personable. I really enjoyed the stories they told of the songs they sang. I really enjoyed the ‘’America’s got Talent’ young man that sang with them. He has a very nice voice.

    disappointed compared to David Foster and friends concert

    by Savannah on 3/6/24Atlanta Symphony Hall - Atlanta

    We have seen the David Foster and Friends concert three times and loved every single minute. This show seemed to be a showcase for Katherine and not enough about David's music. With only one other guest singer, who we enjoyed very much, and no orchestra it could not compare to his other shows.

    Excellent

    by Jan on 3/6/24Atlanta Symphony Hall - Atlanta

    Loved every moment. From sitting down at the restaurant for dinner prior to the concert and seeing David Foster and Katharine McPhee at the next table! Loved the personal conversation from the stage, the volume of songs touched on, the participants from the audience that sang! Will be a memory cherished for years to come by myself and two daughters. Thank you.

    David, Kay and crew perform a very entertaining concert. We loved the music genre variety, the bantering and the whole production. Thanks for a lovely afternoon! We will be back.
