In June of 2009, Jen kicked off her songwriter series - "The Writer's Share" - at the Bluebird Cafe. The series was created in honor of Jen's mother, Mary Alice Foster, who passed away from endometrial cancer in 2008. All proceeds from the events go to raise money for the TJ Martell Foundation for Cancer, AIDS, and Leukemia Research. The first event featured Jen, along with #1 hit songwriter Chuck Cannon and Grammy-Award winning songwriters Richard Marx, Mike Reid, and Lari White.
In October, 2009, Jen was elected to the board of Nashville Songwriters Association International - a body of creative minds, including songwriters from all genres of music, professional and amateur, who are committed to protecting the rights and future of the profession of songwriting, and to educate, elevate, and celebrate the songwriter and to act as a unifying force within the music community and the community at large.
Over the past two years, Jen has been honored to work and co-write with some of the most renowned songwriters in the industry, including Liz Rose (“Teardrops on My Guitar”), Mike Reid (“I Can't Make You Love Me”), Deanna Bryant (“Johnny & June”, “Stupid Boy”), Kristen Hall of Sugarland (“Stay”), and Emmy Award Winner Michelle Vice-Maslin.
Jen has had numerous film/tv placements, including MTV's wildly popular show, "The Hills", feature films, "American Pie: Beta House" and "Elena Undone", the popular soap opera "All My Children", and, most recently, several multi-media placements, including the theme music for the newly released web series “Venice” and a feature in the popular book, “Meeting in the Ladies Room” by Linda Woods and Karen Dinino with Pamela Detlor, alongside such pop culture icons as Rosie O'Donnell, Jan Arden, Amanda Palmer, Sarah Bettens, and SheDAISY. When she's not busy recording or writing and co-writing songs in Nashville, Jen also tours nationally and has shared stages with Melissa Etheridge, John Mayer, Patty Griffin, and many others.
Jen's latest project, "Thirty-Nine", is currently for sale in the Shop at www.jenfoster.com, as well as on Itunes, and Amazon. Her other music is also available online - the best way to purchase is always DIRECTLY through jenfoster.com - because most of the money goes to the artist this way - not to mention all cds are personally autographed! Thank you for supporting independent music! Jen is currently putting the finishing touches on her brand new project to be out this Spring!! Working with producer Rich Jacques, Jen is putting together a long awaited collection of new, unreleased songs along with cool new sounds for a handful of fan favorites.
It's hard to top the near-perfection of Jen Foster's 2005 release, "Taking Bob Dylan", but with her new project, she just might have succeeded. I love all the new songs I've heard, but my new favorite is "Secondhand Love". Alison Krauss called it "a signature song" and I couldn't agree more.

Singer-songwriter Jen Foster takes an intensely confessional approach to rock and pop... Foster is writing open letters to current and ex-lovers with a laudable commitment to melody and craft...
