I am Jeni Foster, a lecturer and vocalist specializing in songs related to
history and literature.  I currently have eight programs available for hire:

Click on any program below to learn more about it
and listen to a bit of a song:

Magic Carpet Made of Steel:  Songs of America's Railroads

My Grandfather's Immigrant Eyes:  Songs & History of Irish Emigration to America

Mother Jones:  The Miners' Angel

Plowman Poet:  The Life and Songs of
Robert Burns

WomenSong:  A Celebration of the Stages of Women's Lives

Sing and Tell:  An Eclectic Mix of Songs Related to History & Literature

BirdSong:  Birds as Metaphor in American Folk Music

A Voice for Peace and Justice:  The Life and Songs of Malvina Reynolds

     These programs are both educational and entertaining. They are appropriate for a variety of organizations for regular meetings, specials events or fundraisers. All are interactive; at least half of the songs in each program have sing-along choruses. The songs are set in the context of the historical narrative and are used to add an emotional dimension to the the stories.

     This is my favorite musical format because the songs come from real people singing about their lives and make the past come alive. Folk songs, in their great diversity, offer a running commentary on life.
