Nashville singer-songwriter, Kenny Foster, has signed with United Talent Agency (UTA) for representation globally. Foster is represented by Lance Roberts in the U.S. and Christina Austin in London.
The exciting partnership adds to the momentum of Kenny’s career ahead of his second full album release later this year – produced and engineered by GRAMMY-winner Mitch Dane, and mastered by GRAMMY-winner Vance Powell at their legendary studio Sputnik Sound.
"I'm so happy to make my partnership with UTA official," says Foster. "Lance and Christina have been champions from the beginning in ways that are really important to me. They haven't forgotten what the point of all of this is: making and sharing real human moments. Honored to be a small part of such a storied roster, and I look forward to seeing us make and share many more moments to come."
Recently, Foster released his latest single and title track off his upcoming full-length album, ‘Somewhere In Middle America‘ a stirring examination of the unpolished and overlooked way of life that makes America’s heartland a humble, yet wonderfully colourful tapestry of life. The song received its international debut on BBC Radio 2 with acclaimed radio presenter, Bob Harris.
The studio version production transports the listener to a place they may never see, but that Kenny calls home. Releasing today, is the stripped-down one-take acoustic music video for the track. Dubbed the ‘Bonfire Edition,’ this version of the song strips back the production to emphasize the heart-filled storytelling, because as Kenny says “it’s the heart that matters more.”
I love the production that we brought to 'Somewhere in Middle America' in its entirety. I think what it did sonically was something really special and I think the response we're getting is only validating what our hopes were longing for. And in its dreamiest, loftiest state, I'm glad we achieved that," says Foster. "But a song about Middle America should also feel like where it's from. Gritty, raw, honest, earnest. Not too flashy, not trying too hard, stalwart, true. And when there's nothing to hide behind, what is it that's actually being said."
