  Commotion PR : STEVE FORBERT
Steve Forbert was born and raised in Meridian, Mississippi, an historic city whose position as a crucial Confederate railroad hub was such that it ultimately drew the unwelcome attention of one General William Tecumseh Sherman (who is said to have proclaimed, as he rode out of sight, "Meridian is no more.").
Forbert’s trademark warm vocal rasp took on a welcome patina, and his lyrics reflected a sadder-but-wiser Stevie Orbit, but the tunefulness, the evidence of pan-genre inspiration and the writer’s gift for keen observation and evocative clarity were all still there in spades.
Reuniting Forbert with producer Garry Tallent and an all-star band that is hand-picked from across the years of Steve’s exemplary career, the disc seems to represent a coming to terms with all that’s passed before while clearing the decks for what’s yet to come from this singular, passionate artist.

 Steve Forbert, Mississippi musician, by Nicole Rafferty
Forbert made his appearance in the late Seventies as a "quirkily original singer-songwriter in the Loudon Wainwright/John Prine mould" (Hardy and Laing 174).
At the age of ten, Steve Forbert began playing the guitar ("Steve Forbert: Bio") and, as he said in a recent interview, "for me playing guitar means singing." Forbert comments that, during high school, he "gave up an interest in art work and drawing to move more into music" (Devlin).
Forbert has three kids and feels that the sacrifice of being on the road much of the time is rewarded by people closely identifying with his songs (Devlin).
