“Jennifer Foster’s new album Powerline is a wonderful collection of songs. No shortage of sweet melodies or intimate lyrics, and all sung in a voice that is lovely and unpretentious.” – Ron Sexsmith
Jennifer Foster is a Toronto-based singer-songwriter whose music blends classic pop-folk songwriting with warmth, curiosity, and emotional honesty. Her songs are hooky and heartfelt, inviting listeners in with melody and and drawing them closer through her vivid storytelling
Her new album Powerline, out in April, is an acoustic-driven collection and her most personal songwriting to date. Part love letter, part map, many of the songs were inspired by the New Brunswick farm where she grew up – colourful snapshots of the landscape and her inner world – reflections on relationship, loss, and change.
Powerline marks Foster’s fourth release. Her previous album earned a JUNO nomination for Producer of the Year (Michael Phillip Wojewoda), and she has collaborated widely across the Canadian music community with artists including Ron Sexmith, Carole Pope, Lori Cullen, Kevin Hearn (Barenaked Ladies), Moe Berg, and The Pursuit of Happiness. You might also recognize her from five seasons singing as a “Jazzagal” on Schitt’s Creek. Whether performing solo or with her four-piece band, Foster’s warmth and authenticity create an intimate, captivating live experience.

Thank you for a wonderful concert! Join us for a celebration of community through harmony with Special Guests Las Brujas del Barrio.
Las Brujas del Barriois a Toronto-based Latin American folk ensemble founded by Chilean vocalists Valentina Harper and Alejandra Alvarado, joined by multi-instrumentalist Daniel Saavedra, Oriana Barbato and other guest musicians. Through traditional, folk, Indigenous, and protest songs, the group revives the voices of their ancestors and the struggles of Latin America with haunting harmonies and political soul. Blending Chilean roots with Pan-American rhythms, their music celebrates resistance, memory, and the enduring power of community.
Thank you for supporting Echo! We met our goal and beyond! We’ll let you know when your orders are ready and the pick up location! Orders can be picked up in early December, in time for the holidays at an East or West End location.
Echo is proud to be partnering again with Peace by Chocolate, a company founded by a Syrian family, whose chocolate business in their homeland was destroyed by war. When they settled in Antigonish, Nova Scotia as refugees they rebuilt their chocolate company and founded Peace by Chocolate in 2016. The company supports a range of non profit organizations and 3 – 5% of all company returns is now donated to the Peace on Earth Society, an organization registered in 2018 in Nova Scotia that contributes to peace building projects around the world, including wildfire relief in Canada. Every purchase you make helps support Echo Women’s Choir.

The idea is to get as many guitars and ukuleles as possible with the participation of the singers. There will be an instructional video and score we’ll send to you ahead of the workshop, so you have time to become familiar with the songs and strumming and be ready to go. (It’s soooo easy) We’ll also have tea break and snack. We are looking forward to this!
