Event information
"Marcus Foster has friends in high places.
The London-based singer/songwriter-cum-sculptor counts Twilight phenomenon R-Patz among his childhood buds; Mumford & Sons band member Ben Lovett endorses Foster through his label Communion; and Charles Saatchi purchased a Foster-made artwork once...Foster himself evokes Tom Waits and Bob Dylan as influences on his "nu-folk" EP Tumble Down, and on his forthcoming album.
Foster's songs are endowed with a musical maturity that belie his 24 years, but he doesn't take himself too seriously: "Is that the right key?" he smiles in the quiet before "I Don't Need to Lose You to Know". Admitting that it isn't somehow leads to a declaration of his availability to perform at "circumcisions and weddings". His band is in stitches, just as they were 10 minutes earlier during his impromptu and inexplicable mini-rendition of Reel 2 Real's "I Like to Move It".
Remarkably talented and excitingly different, Foster shows he's worth the celebrity endorsements. And proves he doesn't need them either." The Independent
