We are so pleased to welcome back San Francisco Bay Area troubadour, Forest Sun to Santa Fe. Forest has regaled audiences around the globe with his wealth of songs and stories, all sung and told with back porch ease and bonhomie.

In 2011 “Trampoline” from Just for Fun is a semi-finalist in the International Songwriting Competition, then wins BEST song in the Kids Music Awards and the record is voted BEST ALBUM by the Kids Music Awards.

His music provided soundtracks for Land of Saints, A Common Thread, and 5th Symphony Document. As well as producing his own 7 records, (Not Afraid, Plenty, For the Story, Walk through Walls, So Nice, Harlequin Goodnight & the 2010 children’s record, Just for Fun) Forest Sun has produced Alex Goldfarb, the benefit CDs Songs for Laura Vol 1&2 and hosted the monthly Songbird Series at the Bazaar Cafe and Songbird Radio, KWMR.
