Biography

Forrest McCurren’s songs live somewhere between Saturday night and Sunday morning, rowdy and redemptive. His intoxicating stories tell tales of love and longing, leaving and regret, nostalgia and hope, and family and friends navigating a world that’s sometimes not quite big enough to hold their dreams. Like Hayes Carll, Townes Van Zandt , and Jerry Jeff Walker, Missouri native McCurren has a sharp eye for the little quirks in the people and the world around, revealing the humor that bubbles just below the surface of our lives. Like Kris Kristofferson and John Prine, McCurren writes songs that illustrate the ways that we’re all connected in our yearnings for a better world and our hopes for a more compassionate and tolerant humanity.
