Jennifer Foster & The Audacity

Jennifer Foster & The Audacity play The Continental Club on Tuesday, August 18, at 6:30 PM. They're a fixture of Austin's soul and funk scene, fronted by vocalist and bassist Jennifer Foster, who pulls together musicians from Austin and Nashville to fill out the band.

What they play is an all-original catalog built from Motown, funk, R&B, blues, and rock. It's not a cover set; it's their own material, though the roots are right there in the sound. They describe it as a sweet and spicy blend of the good stuff, with tight grooves and a polished delivery that's made them a regular addition to clubs, festivals, and live music venues around town.

If you're not familiar, that's a fair amount of ground to cover in one night. The Motown influence brings the soul, the funk and R&B provide the groove, and the blues and rock keep it grounded. Having Foster on both vocals and bass puts her right at the center of it, holding down the low end while leading the singing.

Tickets are $25+ through Eventbrite, and there's a limited number of $25 cash tickets available at the door. The show is 21+ only, and it starts at 6:30 PM at The Continental Club, 1315 South Congress Avenue.
