Foster's Fest + The Song Swap
If you are a foodie, beer lover (and other drinks) and local music supporter then this is my personal challenge to YOU to go meet Art the owner and man behind ALL the things at Foster's Place in Pickton, TX.
This easy to spot gem on HWY 11 hosts trivia nights, live music, and will always have the latest game playing on the TV nearby. You'll find daily food specials, crafted in house by Art and his team. His wait staff makes you feel like you came to your home or to visit family and the talent he brings through the doors speaks for itself.
The Song Swap, a somewhat quarterly if not more frequently when schedules allow, encompasses (usually 5 - mhhhmmm, Chase Glover) a group of East Texas Singer-Songwriters that have been friends and have been doing this song swap at Foster's for I believe upwards of five years. (They'll check my facts.😉)
This week had the four of the five that normally participate -- Owen Tiner, Chris Rasco, Meredith Crawford & Kevin Tinney and to watch them play each others songs, encourage each other to test out newly written material, is inspiring and a priviledge to witness.
This song swap was also the weekend of Art's annual Foster's Fest, held this time every year with a weekend jam packed with live music. (Goal: Next year photograph it all!)
These people are near and dear to my heart, this place represents safety and home and community and the music replenishes your soul.
See ya there next time! 🫶
