Reed Foehl first jumped onto the music industry radar as the lead singer of the Boulder CO based jam band Acoustic Junction. Their first two independently issued albums, Love It for What It Is (1991) and Surrounded By Change (1994) along with a relentless touring schedule won them both critical acclaim and a devoted cult following. As the band developed and survived several lineup changes the "acoustic" description no longer fit all of their material. Foehl, along with Acoustic Junction's core musicians Tim Roper, Curtis Thompson and Matt Coconis went on to sign with Capricorn/Mercury Records and released their major label debut under the name Fools Progress (1997). A return to the better-known Acoustic Junction moniker preceded the 1999 release of Live 5-4-99 followed by Strange Days in 2000.

In 2004 he released his second solo album Spark through his own NFR label. Born in Boston and growing up in Dover, MA, Foehl has always maintained ties to his native New England and frequently returns there on tour, along with stops in Philadelphia and New York. He has opened for a number of today's noteworthy recording artists including Patty Griffin, Taj Mahal, Dave Matthews and most recently on several shows with Ray LaMontagne. Along the way, Foehl has caught the attention of motion picture/television music supervisors. His original songs have been featured in a number of productions including the feature film Just Friends (New Line Cinema), Joan of Arcadia (CBS), Laguna Beach (MTV), The Biggest Loser (NBC), Breaking Bonaduce (VH1), Dawson's Creek (WB) and Party of Five (FOX)
