Paul Forrest + Musician in Asheville, NC

SEEKING

ABOUT

I'm a lifelong guitarist (since the age of ten), and more recently a music producer. I've played in several Atlanta bands (Rob's Welfare, Haze Live), but haven't gigged steadily in a few years. Lately I've been producing constantly in Ableton Live 8 and would love to incorporate this into a live act. I'm very, very open to different musical genres, and have played jazz, blues, classic rock, alternative, reggae, hip-hop/rock fusion, rap, acoustic, and more.

The track I posted here is a good demo just because it is only me playing and only guitar, so the guitar work itself is really audible and clear.

Get back to me if you think I would be a good fit on guitar, if you like the music, if you want to collaborate on some produced tracks, hell, even if you just hit reply by accident I'm happy to hear from ya,

Here is a video of a live performance I did with Aleon Craft at A3C 2011 Hip-Hop Festival in Atlanta, while I was producing "Mothership: The Decatur Connection." The guitar is way too loud in the mix, but for the purpose of checking out my guitar work maybe that's a good thing:

Got a couple pages, mostly tracks I produced, with live guitar work here and there:

And a DL of "Mothership: The Decatur Connection," a mixtape sponsored by George Clinton, for anyone who's interested or who loves funk music or mashups.
