Guy Forsyth

After Camp

Hi Everyone,

Thanks to all for another wonderful Austin Band Camp.

Guy taught, shared, played and took us along the corridor of a spectacular afternoon.

So nice to have Pops along to help teach and the lovely Jeska to help get us going.

John and Carol sharing their space and cupboard.

All the brave participants in person and in spirit.

I feel grateful for everyone coming together to make that band camp happen.

I’m inspired, now. Writing a song on uke based on Guy’s sheet. And I just ordered an uke I can plug in — the one I brought I’ve given to my kid. I’m also thinking about joining the next uke society jam.

Be well and keep jamming,

David

about Guy

From Medium.com: Guy Forsyth is an Austin, Texas-based musician, singer, storyteller, and songwriter. Guy has won several Austin Music Awards, including best vocalist, while delivering diverse roots music, especially the blues, both classic and original, in which the story always comes first. He earned a ten-year residency at legendary Antone’s nightclub, “the home of the blues,” and recorded several records on the house label. He has toured the U. S. and Europe and opened for Ray Charles, Robert Cray, Dr. John, B. B. King, and Lucinda Williams, among many others.

To his mastery of the guitar, harmonica, and musical saw he brings an unforgettably passionate and plaintive vocal soundscape. As Texas Music Magazine observed, “The insanely talented multi-instrumentalist can put on one hell of a show, alternately dazzling and amusing audiences on a musical journey from ragtime jazz and Delta blues to socially conscious folk and rollicking modern rock.” As powerful as his records remain, Guy’s live shows will make you whole.
