Steve Forbert
Steve Forbert
Steve Forbert has spent a lifetime writing songs that find meaning in the everyday — small moments, passing thoughts, and the quiet poetry of ordinary life. Hailed by The New York Times as “an introspective, homespun philosopher,” Forbert’s work is rooted in observation, melody, and a voice that feels both familiar and unmistakably his own.
Emerging from the New York “new folk” scene in the late ’70s, Forbert quickly made his mark with Alive on Arrival and the breakout success of Jackrabbit Slim, featuring the hit “Romeo’s Tune.” Decades later, his songwriting remains as sharp and resonant as ever, earning comparisons to artists like Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and Bruce Springsteen.
His latest album, Daylight Savings Time, reflects on time, change, and the simple magic of getting by — delivered with the same melodic ease and lyrical depth that have defined his career.
Live, Forbert strips things back to their essence: voice, guitar, harmonica, and a lifetime of stories. It’s a performance that feels present, personal, and entirely his own — a reminder that great songs don’t age, they deepen.
