Guy Forsyth Bio

With a voice that could reach the cheap seats way in the back without any help, Guy Forsyth has brought his energy, vocal talents and showmanship to the blues with the Guy Forsyth Band. High Temperature in 1994, Needle Gun in 1996 and Can You Live Without from 1999 are earning the band high praise from blues lovers throughout the world.

The band includes drummer John Treanor, guitarist George Rarey, The Mighty Gil T on bass and Forsyth, who plays guitar and harmonica in addition to singing lead vocals. The credentials these four bring to the blues include years of playing with the likes of Bo Diddley and Joe Ely. Forsyth held center stage with the Asylum Street Spankers for a number of years and could count their albums in his discography.

The band's stated goal is not to emulate the old blues masters, but to innovate a fresh and vital reinvention of American music, reflecting root sounds originating from across the country.

You can learn more at the Guy Forsyth Band website, where they claim that the band "is more than a blues band. They're more than just Americana. When they take the stage, the audience begins to bounce and by the end of the set, all seats are empty and the dance floor stomps with rhythm."

Guy Forsyth Announces Engagement

The Saxon Pub has always been my favorite venue for New Years Eve.

I was excited to hear that Guy Forsyth, would again this year be the headliner. I arrived around 10 PM to a packed house, The Resentments were playing their last song. I noticed a friend, who managed to grab a table for the evening. The room filled up as Guy Forsyth began to play, a few more friends joined the table, and a beautiful long brown haired, beauty with a soft smile and soft beautiful brown eyes joined our table. This is when Guy Forsyth took the microphone and said this song goes out to my beautiful. fiance Le. That is when everyone in the room, even I realized that, the secret was out, Guy does have a girl friend. Guy Forsyth was not only announcing his engagement, he was introducing to everyone for the first time publicly the woman he loves. The evening just became more exciting and invigorating as Guy performed. Guy was beaming, his musical storytelling, and the upbeat energy coming from the band, and the crowd, kept the dance floor filled. I had a chance to speak with, Guys Fiance, Le Easter. Le, told me that she had met Guy, at Joes Generic Bar, on Jan 5th, 1993. I was captivated by her beauty, and the softness of her eyes. Le, also told me that after tonites gig, they were off on vacation for some quite time together. I believe this was the best place, I could have been ,on New Years Eve.

Guy Forsyth is an amazing performer, he truly can reach the "cheap seat" with no mic and sound fantastic doing it. He is a great story teller, guitar player, and showman. He even plays the saw pretty well, but you have to stay for the second set to see that.
