Steve Forbert left his truck-driving days in the small town of Meridian, Mississippi to become a folk hero in the giant metropolis of New York City. Armed with just a guitar and a harmonica, he managed to cause a stir in NYC amid the flash and clatter of the emerging New Wave. Relocating to Nashville in the mid 80's, Forbert pressed on with his songs and a loyal audience that stood by their man. Lucinda Williams Willie has recorded and performed with Roger Mcguinn, Richard Thompson, Ringo Starr,Tori Amos, Elvis Costello and Lucinda Williams to name a few.
Cliff is a strong singer, an amazing writer and a great guitarist.
He is both playful and powerful on stage. I try to catch his shows every chance I get. We never tire of seeing his live performances as each is always a unique experience. His sense of humor always makes us laugh out loud. Cliff is a seasoned songwriter who has never sounded better or funnier.
