Over the past two and a half decades (and no less than 20 albums), Nashville singer-songwriter Steve Forbert has been charting the choppy waters of American life from youth to middle age with compelling songs that are at once disarmingly personal and universally true. Taking the stance of a deeply compassionate everyman with a keen eye for detail, Steve deftly weaves together strands of folk, rock, country, and R&B as he delivers his take on life's trials, tribulations and discoveries with a direct, honest energy and enduring optimism. Steve grew up in Meridian, Mississippi, where he worked as a truck driver before leaving for a 10-year stint in the Greenwich Village folk clubs of New York City; not surprisingly, he eventually ended up in Nashville. Tonight he1ll be singing songs from his most recent albums, the retrospective Young, Guitar Days (Relentless), and Any Old Time (Koch), a collection of songs by fellow Meridian native, the legendary "singing brakeman" Jimmie Rodgers, known by many as the "Singing Brakeman" and the founding father of country music.
