Forest has been a nationally touring musician since he was 18 years old. As a one man band, he is currently pioneering a genre called Americana Blues, drawing influences from roots music across the U.S. His voice blends the high lonesome sounds of Hank Williams and Townes Van Zandt with gruff baritone vibrations akin to Tom Waits and Johnny Cash. His banjo, harmonica, and voice combine to create a soulful and unique sound. Come down and welcome Forest Beutel to his debit Port Townsend appearance.
