Steve Forbert

Years before Americana music earned its own category at the Grammy Awards, Steve Forbert helped pioneer the genres mix of folk, roots-rock, and richly delivered storytelling. Hes been a torchbearer of that sound for more than four decades since, navigating the twists and turns of an acclaimed career thats taken him from gold records to Grammy nominations, from New York Citys CBGB to Nashvilles Bluebird Cafe, from his 1978 debut album to 2022s vital and versatile Moving Through America.Im not trying to refine or reimagine what I do, says Forbert, a longtime road warrior who continues to spend the bulk of each year onstage, on the road, and in the writing room.
