An Intimate Evening With David Foster Comes To Van Wezel

Sixteen-time Grammy Award-winner David Foster makes his Sarasota premiere at the Van Wezel! Don't miss An Intimate Evening with David Foster - The Hitman Tour on Thursday, February 28, 2019 at 8 p.m. An Intimate Evening with David Foster is just that: an intimate evening with one of the biggest musical forces of our time. The producer and prolific writer performs songs he wrote or produced from his four decades of hits and includes fascinating storytelling about the songs, artists and moments of his life. Some of the music man's hits include Celine Dion's "Because You Loved Me," Whitney Houston's "The Bodyguard," Earth Wind and Fire's "After The Love Is Gone," Chicago's You're The Inspiration," Josh Groban's "You Raised Me Up," Michael Bublé's "Home," Natalie Cole's "Unforgettable" and many, many more.

David brings an amazingly talented group of singers with him on this tour: Pia Toscano (American Idol), Sheléa Frazier (Stevie Wonder) and Fernando Varela (America's Got Talent) - all of whom bring their own unique talent to his show.

Apart from returning as a Celebrity Judge on Asia's biggest talent competition show, Asia's Got Talent, Foster is gearing up to take on Broadway with several projects including writing the music for a new musical about the iconic animated character Betty Boop. He is also writing the music for a musical based on the Amy Bloom novel and New York Times bestseller, Lucky Us. His studio album, Love, which he produced with Michael Bublé, was released in November 2018 to rave reviews and entered The Billboard Top 200 Chart at No. 3. In March, The Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS) will honor David with the 2019 Humanitarian Award at the Juno Awards.
