A dream doesn’t become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination, and hard work. Emily Foster is a 14-year-old aspiring singer who puts in the sweat and hard work and is gaining momentum in the magic.   She recently began performing at Inverness’ local coffee shop, Cattle Dogs, to showcase her talents. She has been practicing Piano for less than two years and has also been taking private singing lessons since April of 2016.  Singing at the Manatee Festival is a dream come true.  She had the opportunity to sing with Amy Gerhartz, a prior headliner of the Manatee Festival at a private party only a few short years ago.  Emily is a Citrus County native and currently attends Crystal River Middle School.  She attributes her successes to the love and support of her family and five siblings.  Her long-range dreams include marrying Ashton Irwin of 5 seconds of Summer and figuring out a cure to free her haunted hoverboard.  

Thanks for listening!
