Vancouver's Jim Foster and Calgary's Vern Wills first met when the bands they were playing in played together at Calgary's The Haunted House. However, Wills was frustrated working in bar bands and headed to New York to join The Walkers. When Wills' work visa couldn't be renewed he hooked up with Jim Foster to form Fosterchild in 1976. It would be several band member changes later before Fosterchild signed a record deal with CBS Records. Fosterchild would release three moderate to unsuccessful albums before calling it quits in the early '80's. Jim Foster went on to become a member of One Horse Blue in the 1990's.
