Forrest is a Texas staple, playing smokin' electric blues, soul, rock, pop and Americana both for established venues and private clients. His arrangement consists of drums, rhythm guitar, lead guitar, and dual vocals, with all top-notch gear and a custom rig you have to see to believe. He also walks through the crowd wirelessly, dazzling them with lead guitar serenades.

A great show... with energy level, volume and music suited to your particular crowd and event. Captivating, novel arrangements of well-known songs from the 60s through today, with solid grooves, soulful vocals and smokin' guitar riffs. Austin has a rig like no other, all top-of-the-line gear, and a wireless guitar setup for dazzling the crowd with his lead playing while walking amongst them.
Raised largely in Georgia and North Carolina, Austin Forrest has brought his southern soul to roost in Texas. Having settled down in San Antonio, he makes his living entertaining audiences with energetic, soulful performances of blues, pop, soul, R&B and singer-songwriter tunes. From song to song, Austin shifts easily between soulful belting and breathy serenade, likewise changing his lead guitar flavor from fast-swinging blues riffs to thoughtful melodic improvisation. Whatever the nature of the tune, though, he remains fully committed to rhythm and groove… his bluesy roots ever apparent.
All you need to provide is at least a 6' x 6' space, sheltered from any inclement weather, and at least one dedicated, reliable standard electrical outlet (15-20 amps). Decent house lighting is preferred, but not essential.
