Bio

Tucked away in the mid-eastern prairie fields of Alberta is singer songwriter Florence Foxwell. She has long been regarded as one of the province’s hidden gems. Alongside her husband, they operate a mid-sized farm where they have been farming for over 40 years. Working with, and staying connected to the land keeps her deeply rooted and close to spirit. This has enabled her to create her original contemporary folk, infused with the sounds of pop, rock, and country with a touch of blue-soul warmth, drawing deeply from her own lived experiences.

While most musicians and songwriters discover their craft early on, Florence’s creative side emerged later in life. Her early years were dedicated to raising a family and tending to the farm.

Foxwell is known for crafting soulful, introspective songs that reveal her ongoing search to find art in everyday life. Her music encourages listeners to look closer, connect more deeply, embrace change and the idea of living “outside the box.” 

She has also earned recognition for her songwriting – most notably a second place finish in the Performance category of the 2005 Unisong  International Songwriting Contest for her song I Try.  Also, Outside The Box placed in the Top 20 of the competition’s category for songs examining social issues. Her singles Human and This Is My Alberta dropped in 2017, and newly re-recorded Deceived  (Instrumental) in 2025.

Additionally, she loves to travel and has visited destinations around the world, including Greece, Turkey, Mexico, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, China, Egypt, Jordan, Israel and the United States.

Florence is an active member of AMIA (Alberta Music Industry Association), SAC (Songwriting Association of Canada), SOCAN (Society of Composers Authors and Music Publishers of Canada), and CARAS (Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences).

Working independently on her own label, Foxwell continues to write, record, and release music while maintaining full ownership of her catalogue. Her latest work, “Not Today,” carries forward her tradition of honest, heartfelt songwriting-rooted in real life and delivered with her unmistakable prairie voice.
