A Note From Guy:

I am a musician because I am a fan. I became a musician to get as close to this thing that I love as I could. If you feel the same way I hope I can help you be a part of what I see is the best of people everywhere, because when we make music, the world is a better place. I have been a pro for 20 years and played all types of stuff, but all of it has to matter to me, and to you too, if people are going to be moved by it. I believe that this is about the song first, so lets learn the songs you want to sing and play. I am available to teach guitar including acoustic, electric, and slide, ukulele, harmonica, singing saw, vocal performance, and stage performance.

It’s been a long and dusty, winding road for Austin singer/songwriter Guy Forsyth that has lead to a recent surge in praise over his dazzling live shows and his rich Americana roots sound. Forsyth (vocals, acoustic, electric, & slide guitar, harmonica, ukulele, and saw), along with Will Landin (bass/tuba) and Rob Hooper (drums/Cajon) bring a unique mixture of styles such as folk, rock, country, and Tin Pan Alley to create a sound that’s as heterogeneous, raw and compelling as America itself. You’ll hear powerhouse vocals deliver energetic yarns about love, the government and the apocalypse, to name a few, as Forsyth and company squeeze everything they have into each song and rarely come up for air.

As Forsyth's fans already know, he's a force to be reckoned with onstage. Whether he's channeling the spirit of Louis Armstrong in his vocals, blowing a ripping harmonica or playing slide guitar - or making a saw sing - he's always full of passion. It's a passion that should be experienced live. Forsyth has opened for and shared the stage with musicians such as BB King, Ray Charles, Ben Harper, Lucinda Williams, The Neville Brothers, Jimmy Vaughn, Dr. John, Robert Cray, among many others.

The release of his latest album, Calico Girl, which features new songs as well as re-recordings of some of Guy’s most popular songs from 1999's Can You Live Without, marks the fourth album for the record label he started in 2002, Small and Nimble Records and will be released nationwide on May 20th, 2008.
