Award-winning singer, songwriter, and musician Brendan Forrest is a Folk, Bluegrass, and Americana artist from the Northside of Chicago who traded his urban life for the pastoral landscape of Southwest Colorado.  

Brendan is often described as “a rising star” amongst the ranks of the Americana music scene as he continues to grow fans with his signature sound. 

Stay tuned for the highly anticipated debut album “Daydreaming Music Fiend” available Summer 2024 — streaming on all platforms.

Philip joined the folk scene at Montreal’s renowned Yellow Door Coffee House in the late ‘60s playing the weekly open mic ‘Hoot Night’ and eventually earning a gig there. He was a regular participant in the downtown pub and youth centre scene of his generation.

During a varied non-musical career Philip continued to bring his music to open mics in London, UK (The Crypt, St. Martin in the Fields), Paris (Le Traditional Mountain Sound, St-Germain-des-Pres), and Sao Paulo, Brazil (Bom Motivo).

Philip’s music is the back catalog of his life. From lost loves of his youth to the discovery of a life partner in his elder years.

Philip now lives on an urban lake next to a conservation area and swims with loons.
