Guy Forsyth

Jump into an unforgettable evening with Austin's own blues legend Guy Forsyth, the ultimate musician, singer, storyteller, and songwriter! Born in Denver and raised with a wanderlust spirit, Guy ditched college for circus stunts as Robin Hood at the Renaissance Festival, honing his grit before hitting the road to Austin in 1990.

• Discover his raw blues roots, from busking on Sixth Street and UT's West Mall to a decade-long residency at Antone's, winning Austin Chronicle polls and signing to their legendary label.
• Relive the wild ride with The Asylum Street Spankers, an electric-acoustic crew blending American music history with theatrical flair—no electricity allowed!
• Catch his global vibes: 20+ records, tours in Europe (where fans cover his tunes), shared stages with BB King, Ray Charles, and more, plus movie soundtracks like Waking Life.
• Experience his eclectic sound—blues, folk, bluegrass with The Hot Nut Riveters—always with killer stories behind every song that’ll have you smiling, moving, and hooked.
• Beyond music, he's a community hero: free Tai Chi for vets and kids, school music lessons, and belting 'This Land is Your Land' with Bernie Sanders!

Guy Forsyth is pure Austin magic—a modern songster whose life and lyrics keep us on the edge of our seats. Don't miss this one-of-a-kind show!
