Saxon Pub May 23
Details
Blues fans, clear your calendar—Guy Forsyth Band is rolling into The Saxon Pub on May 23, 2026, for an early evening set that’s all heart, grit, and Texas soul.
Known for searing guitar work, a powerhouse voice, and storytelling that swings from playful to haunting, Guy Forsyth turns every show into a road trip through blues, rock, and rootsy Americana. This is the kind of gig where harmonica solos hit hard, grooves stay tight, and the whole room feels like it’s in on a secret.
- Expect a mix of deep-cut blues, rock-tinged jams, and songs that sound like they were born on a long Texas highway.
- Perfect for people who love live bands that actually jam, not just play through the motions.
- Great pre-night-out move: catch the 6 p.m. show, soak up the tunes, then let the rest of your evening spin out from there.
- Bring a friend who claims they “don’t really listen to blues” and watch them walk out converted.
If you’ve been meaning to catch a show that feels intimate but still big on energy, this early set at The Saxon Pub is your chance. Get there ready to clap, sway, and maybe shout along to a chorus or two.
