Inspired by Americana and blues, Guy Forsyth uses a cacophony of styles and instruments to create a gritty, wholly unique sound.
Forsyth has enjoyed a busy career: he’s released 9 albums since 1994. He founded and was a member of theatrical acoustic group The Asylum Street Spankers for over 15 years. He’s toured nationally and internationally, and created the record label Small and Nimble Records. Forsyth’s musicianship has been recognized several times at the Austin Music Awards, receiving awards in categories including Best Male Vocalist, Blues, and Best Miscellaneous Instrument Player.
He will be releasing a new studio album, titled The Pleaser, this Thursday, May 26.
Be sure to check The Roost this Friday, May 22, where Guy Forsyth will be celebrating the new album with a CD release party. You can also listen to his performance in Studio 1A here at KUTX!
