I love Guy Forsyth! I love his spirit, I love his music. He is a total treasure, an erudite song and dance man with a biting political wit. An accomplished instrumentalist, an articulate writer, a man who sees the vision and delivers. I will digress a bit here, having seen a most brilliant Christmas show at the One World Theater this past December with Guy and Carolyn Wonderland sharing the stage. It was an inventive and magical night, and THAT is saying something, especially when you are talking about Christmas songs that we have heard all of our lives. Here's hoping they will take that on the road in 2010 to a town near you! We can report that Guy and Carolyn are doing some touring starting May 10 until the end of May.
What else is new? A whole lot of as yet unreleased tunes on a brand new CD, Guy Forsyth Live At Gruene Hall comes out on May 4th, with a CD release show on May 2nd at, where else, Gruene Hall! You need to jump on it quick if you want a physical CD, as they will sell out what with only 1000 of them being made. Then there is the magical performance set for May 8th with the Sweet Home Baptist Choir at Scholz Beer Garten as a benefit for the Austin History Center.
I love Guy's website, too. Spend some time with it, and you'll get an idea of the range and the command of this man. Get to know Guy Forsyth. Here is another brand new tune, and this one won't be released until the next studio album. Enjoy the scoop! Oh, and happy birthday to Mary Mae!
