Forrest Collins

Forrest's catchy melodies sung over finger-picked acoustic guitar are matched with his deeply personal lyrics.

His 2024 collaboration with G. Love & Special Sauce brought his music full circle; G. Love was a huge influence on Forrest's early style when he picked up the guitar at 15 years old and started writing.


In 2004, he self-recorded an EP titled "Uninvited Guests" with his band Cove, comprised of himself and two highschool friends. Encouraged by the feedback, he kept writing.


In 2005, Forrest released another self recorded album with one of the bandmates, self titled "Fozz and Mike". With work and features by Nate, Brad, and Forrest's older brother Devin, Fozz (Forrest's nickname) and Mike played at local shows and parties and sold so many CDs to friends of friends, it was hard to keep up with demand.


Forrest then shifted focus with college, Air Force, and family. From jamming with friends to solo acoustic shows, he fell in love with live music along the way. He loved playing, and he loved connecting with the audience.


2015 marked his debut on Spotify and to a wider audience. Honest and raw, listening to the Acoustic album feels like a conversation with a good friend.


Since then, Forrest has released songs produced in Timbaland's old studio ("Rain", "Outside"), and self produced several from his own home studio.

Thank you for listening.
