Singer - songwriter, and folk and blues luminary Ruthie Foster headlines Showcase South Hadley! Her recent and 10th studio album, Mileage, won a 2025 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album. Mileage finds the Ruthie reflecting on a life full of professional triumphs, personal loss, and a musical journey that took a self-described “little Black girl with a guitar” from singing at churches in rural Texas to chalking up multiple Grammy nominations and collaborating with fellow greats such as Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks.
