Finishing second on American Idol with his emotional original “Tell That Angel I Love Her,” John Foster has quickly captured the hearts of country fans nationwide. Now, the 18-year-old Louisiana native is preparing for one of the biggest moments of his life — his Grand Ole Opry debut, set for June 7.
John posted the following on Instagram to inform his followers of the news:
“The first time I came to the Grand Ole Opry, I fought back tears. As an amateur country music historian, there’s no place more meaningful to me. This has been my number one dream since I started music… and now, thanks to you all, it’s coming true.”
Foster will make his stage debut with country music icons Bill Anderson, Old Crow Medicine Show, and Mark Wills, establishing himself as a significant voice in contemporary country music.
John will also perform at the Cajun Country Jam over Memorial Day Weekend prior to the Opry. In light of his experience, he added:
“I once felt like I’d never be good enough. But being runner-up is just the beginning. I trust God has more planned — and I’m ready for it.”
