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.
I could have listened to David and Katherine all evening. They incorporated some humor, reminiscent of years past. Their young son had a drumming moment with the band. A thoroughly enjoyable evening.
I enjoyed the content, for the most part, but everything was microphoned WAY TOO LOUD. I had to cover my ears many times. The louder is not the better. No need to blast it at us. And Katharine’s singing was very hard to catch her words. That was frustrating. It would feel much more intimate and user friendly if the sound was at a reasonable level. Please!
Great evening of entertainment from a music icon. Great songs, singers and band. A rememberable evening
Excellent concert. Very authentic. Remarkable performance.
Rousing, reflective, relaxing, from David Foster & Kat McPhee! Astounding drum playing from Rennie!
We thoroughly enjoyed the David Foster - Katherine McPhee concert. The music was great laced with subtle humor. All of the musicians and singers were fabulous.
We ❤️’d it!! We enjoyed their sweet banter and sharing their stories and of course their music!!!! She has an amazing voice and can sing anything and is so enjoyable!! Her song choices were not our favorite but her voice and showmanship is impressive! David was charming and fun with the crowd! We ❤️’d singing to his popular songs- very neat idea! They stated “we need more prayer, more kindness and more peace” is spot on!! The guest singer they had aka Josh Groban was better than Josh?!!! Lucky us to see him too! We enjoyed seeing their son and ❤️’d their show. David’s piano “Love” song was a highlight ending the show in the dark with eyes shut will be remembered forever!!!! WE WILL BE FOLLOWING THEM TO SEE THEM AGAIN!!
This was a most lovely evening with a very talented couple, David and Katharine, and Dan Emmett! Everything was perfect and well choreographed to give us a very captivating and special experience! Even our eight year old granddaughter was sitting on the edge of her seat thoroughly enjoying it and taking it all in!
The smaller venue was perfect for this intimate concert. All of the musicians were great. Danny Emmit has a fabulous voice. Katharine McPhee also has a fabulous voice. Loved it!
This was one of the best concerts I have attended. Foster is a natural MC. The play between Foster and McPhee was just cute!!! And they are both sooooo talented. I will attend another of their concerts
