Hometown: Fairfax, CA / Honda Civic somewhere
Forest Sun has won the hearts and ears of audiences ranging from the Strawberry Music Festival and Oregon Country Fair to many a smaller venue both locally and nationally. He has opened for such luminaries as Bonnie Raitt, Lyle Lovett, Jackson Browne, Keb Mo and Steve Earle, but regardless of venue, a live performance has an indisputable back porch feeling. A musical vagabond, Sun runs the gamut from speakeasy blues and southern soul to reggae and folk, always infusing the unexpected. A live show is an interactive event, the music as likely to inspire singing and laughing as it is dancing. Like those musical mavericks he is frequently compared to (Van Morisson, Paul Simon), Sun is a storyteller. His timeless music and lyrics transcend genre and are at once classic and at the frontier of contemporary songwriting."If Van Morrison, Paul Simon and Jack Johnson wrote songs on the road with Jack Kerouac and Ram Dass in the back seat it would sound like this..." – cdbaby
"Forest Sun is the real thing. His songs are life affirming and joyful and you can only do that as a songwriter when it's a genuine expression of your heart." – Mark Eitzel
