Eric Forsyth's unique pop-folk offering has been honed over a lifetime of musical training and both formal and informal study of his craft. Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, Forsyth left at 17 to explore his sound in Idaho, Philadelphia, Detroit, Miami and eventually landed in Boulder in 2007. He has since established himself as a unique and critically acclaimed member of the Colorado music scene, sharing the stage with an impressive roster of very talented and accomplished singer-songwriters, bands and the occasional clown/magic act (hopefully, maybe, one day).

Forsyth has released two CDs on iTunes and other mainstream outlets, including the latest, The Thin of Thick Things, applauded by critics as "an intriguing blend of impressive acoustic-roots-folk guitar work underneath, overlaid with Forsyth’s surprisingly smooth, soulful vocals...it's just plain good music." The Thin of Thick Things was also featured in Colorado Music Buzz Magazine as their pop pick for September 2010.

The Thin of Thick Things:

Eric Forsyth's highly anticipated sophomore offering, The Thin of Thick Things features his most mature, honest and piercing songwriting yet. A self-taught multi-instrumentalist, Forsyth wrote, engineered and produced this collection of deeply rooted pop-folk tunes in his new Boulder, CO studio, inviting the fantastic mandolin playing Dave Willis to offer his lead picking on three of the six carefully selected tracks.

Trees and Other Shady Things:

Written and recorded over the course of a year and a half, Forsyth's 2008 recording, Trees and Other Shady Things is a hand picked collection of quintessential Eric Forsyth tunes. As debut  solo releases go, this is a golden keeper. From the acoustic spiritual of "Easiness" to the creative song styling of hope-filled "Holding" and toe tapping reggae infused licks of "Bound to Be," Trees and Other Shady Things has Forsyth's heart and homemade love put into every note.
