Steve Forbert, a name synonymous with storytelling through music, has been captivating audiences since his emergence in the late 1970s. Hailing from Meridian, Mississippi, Forbert's journey in music began with his move to New York City in 1976, where he quickly became a notable figure in the city's folk scene. His debut album, "Alive on Arrival" (1978), showcased his unique blend of folk and rock, earning him critical acclaim and a dedicated fanbase. However, it was his 1979 hit "Romeo's Tune" from his album "Jackrabbit Slim" that catapulted him into mainstream success, a song that remains an enduring classic.

His career, marked by both critical and commercial highs, has not been without its challenges, including battles with the music industry's shifting sands and personal health issues. Despite these hurdles, Forbert’s passion and dedication to his craft have remained unwavering. His recent releases, such as "Streets Of This Town: Revisited (Expanded Edition)" and "Moving Through America," demonstrate his undiminished ability to explore and reflect on American life, its landscapes, and its characters.
