Richard
Foley
Foley began his professional career as lead singer for the
internationally known folk-singing group, "The Brothers
Four". With hit records and concert tours, the "Brothers"
took their music to many corners of the world for more than
30 years. Their recording of "Greenfields" reached #1 on the
Billboard charts.
Dick spent 16 years in the broadcast industry as an on-air
host of several programs at KOMO Television, Seattle's ABC
Affiliate Station. During his broadcast career he was
awarded two local Emmy's. Today he applies his skills in the
healthcare setting producing clinical and educational videos
at Virginia Mason Medical Center. He is an accomplished
producer, writer, interviewer and communicator.
In mid 2004 Dick became part of a national folk music tour,
singing in a new group called Glenn Yarbrough and The Folk
Reunion. Along with The Kingston Trio and The Brothers Four,
the tour played in 40 cities across the country, finishing
with a sold-out appearance at Seattle's Benaroya Hall in May
of 2005. Foley and his wife Mary have four children
and two grandchildren and they make their home in Bellevue,
Washington.
Foley is heard as the "voice of" Virginia Mason Medical
Center in Seattle and plays a similar spokesperson role for NSA, Inc., an international distributor of nutrition
products. He appears as host/emcee at many civic and charity
events and continues to be active as a musical performer.
