about

Chris Forsyth Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

“...a scrappy and mystical historian… His music humanizes the element of control in rock classicism (and) turns it into a woolly but disciplined ritual.”
-NY Times

“...a near-perfect balance between 70s rock tradition and present day experimentation,”
-Pitchfork

“...one of rock’s most lyrical guitar improvisors,”
-NPR Music
