Rev. Matt Wise, left, talks with singer/songwriter Radney Foster at St. Mark's Episcopal Church in August of 2021. Foster was at the church to rehearse for a concert that was postponed because of the pandemic. The concert will finally take place Friday.The sanctuary will be lit in a way that showcases the beauty of the space.
Foster got a feel for the space when he rehearsed there in 2021, and is looking forward to finally playing there. One of his songs lends itself particularly well to it. “I just found out that the chapel where I’m performing dates back to 1880, so I’m definitely playing 'Texas In 1880,'” he said. “I’ve been on tour for the 30th anniversary of my debut solo album, but this show will be more of an intimate affair. It’s the kind of room that lends itself to the story behind the song. The acoustics are amazing.”
