These Florida performances are part of Foley's broader tour supporting One Guitar Woman, allowing audiences to experience live renditions of her latest work alongside classic favorites. Her dedication to honoring the legacy of female guitar pioneers, combined with her own innovative style, continues to solidify her reputation as a leading figure in the blues community.
