Allen Forrester Band Straightforward American blues rock & melodic southern rock
Founded by New York guitarists Josh Allen and Ben Forrester, the band gives the classic twin-guitar sound a modern twist.
Bluesy melodies, lush harmonies and driving rhythms merge into a rousing mix that is as authentic as it is powerful. Inspired by legends such as The Allman Brothers Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Black Crowes, Gov't Mule and Blackberry Smoke. The band's soulful and electrifying style thrives on a modern, yet timeless and authentic retro sound. Their debut album, released in 2023, quickly caused a stir - with rousing guitar solos, precise grooves and catchy hooks. Some songs are classic rock'n'roll anthems, while other tracks emphasize their song-oriented and soulful side. In addition to their studio work, the band has released two live EPs ("Heading South" and "Eastbound") that capture the raw energy and passion of their live performances. With their dynamic German rhythm section - Hendrik Herder on bass and Matthias Böhm on drums - they ignite a "veritable firework of blues and rock on stage." (RockTimes).
