Timeline
After focusing on 1940s and 1950s jazz for the first ten years of their existence, The Lesters began writing original songs for a six-song EP which was released in 2017.
Called The Greatest Hits of The Cocksure Lads (1963-1968), its 12 tracks were written over the previous decade.
Murray Douglas Foster (born June 29, 1967) is a Canadian musician, vocalist, songwriter, director, playwright, screenwriter, and environmentalist.
He is best known for his work as electric and upright bassist in the Canadian bands Moxy Früvous and Great Big Sea.
In the late 1980s, Foster played bass in the new wave band Tall New Buildings, alongside vocalist Jian Ghomeshi, guitarist Tracy Jones, Reno Manfredi on keyboards and drummer John Ruttle.
The band developed a cult following and toured extensively for ten years.
They released eight albums and were featured on Late Night with Conan O'Brien in October 1999.
In the early 2000s, Foster joined with Tory Cassis and Jeff Ulster to form The Lesters, an acoustic vocal jazz trio modelled on the Nat King Cole trio.

Foster then wrote the screenplay for a full-length feature film, The Cocksure Lads Movie. Avi Federgreen, a 20-year veteran of the Canadian film industry took on the film's executive producer role.
The money to make the film came from many sources.
In 2012, a Kickstarter campaign raised $28,000 to begin work on the movie.
In September 2013, Foster began a second round of independent fundraising with a self-run campaign that featured backer rewards such as Postcards from the Road (Great Big Sea's XX tour), private lessons in anything over Skype, a song performed with the band, Backer Beer, a cast-signed script or lookbook, a part in the film, a session with the editor, a house concert, or even the chance to beat the director at board games.
Foster and Ford performed pop-up performances at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival to promote the film.
In 2014, he directed the independent film, The Cocksure Lads Movie.
