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.
The performance was perfect but the $120 seat of the front side is very bad. There is a big speaker on the side that blocks 80-90% of the screen. They should have not sell those seats at the first place.
LOVED-LOVED-LOVED “An Intimate Evening with David Foster & Katharine McPhee”, and their special guest Daniel Emmet. Great chemistry between David & Katharine, and Daniel Emmet’s AMAZING voice & personality charmed the audience! “The Prayer” duet between Katharine & Daniel was incredible! 3 year old Rennie on drums was such fun to watch!! Before the concert ended, 2 women sitting next to me were already checking out Daniel’s IG post for link to order his cd’s !!
It was a perfect evening! Especially enjoyed the sing along part! Will definately recommend to family and friends!
David & Katherine are quite a great musical Team. Loved their son, Remmie's drumming!
Show was pretty good and Foster's chitchat was enjoyable. Unfortunately, Windcreek Event Center-Bethlehem PA is not the greatest for this kind of show. Difficult to get a good view of the stage and if you watch on the big screen why go to a live performance.
Went because my wife wanted to go, not expecting to enjoy this as much as I did. The format was incredible, with a mix of great music and fun banter, as well as very informative. The three-year-old drum prodigy, (son of the headliners), was an added bonus. The only downside to this entire event was the hassle with electronic ticketing. This is enough to keep me from purchasing tickets to other events. Call me old, but I just like the days of physical tickets, or at the very least, tickets that can be printed at home.
I traveled from NY to PA to see David Foster. I am a huge fan of David so I was overjoyed to see him and Catherine. I wish there was more singing! It was more like a variety show. They introduced a new singer, their three-year-old prodigy played the drums, the audience participated in singing. I was expecting something different, nonetheless, it was a nice evening.
My wife’s Birthday was very special this year with David Foster presenting his outstanding musical talent. Anyone in the room who didn’t know the breath and depth of David Foster’s work clearly understands the true genius of this man’s musical talent certainly know now. We would attend on of his concerts anytime he presents near us.
Just one Fantastic show. It was as good as it gets. They all together made for a Special Night.
Terrific show, everyone was great. Would see again in a heartbeat!
