Messenger Down is the stage name and musical outlet of Charlotte, NC based alternative pop artist Garrett Foster. Pairing raw instrumentation and soaring melodies with electronic soundscapes and pop sensibility, Foster creates a diverse and eclectic sound that seamlessly dances between synthpop, indie rock, alternative R&B, emo, hip-hop, and funk.

Established in 2012, the singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist has self-released three EP's, a handful of singles along the way, and has spent the last year and a half recording new music. With the newly released singles "Where You Been?" and "Ride," and what one can only assume to be an album on the way for 2018, it would be wise to keep your eyes on Messenger Down.

Since 1998 I have played with a band called The Showgoats. 10 Trucks started as away for me to introduce new songs to The Showgoats as a finished product. Turns out many of the songs didn't translate well and never got played. So I decided to set them loose into the world as they are. So 10 Trucks is just a "studio"  band. Currently no plans now for growing beyond that..but who knows. Check in now and then for new songs. I write alot and every month or so something good enough to share comes along.
