STEVE FORBERT: From Meridian to MacDougal

Send us Fan MailI always smile when I think of the apt title of Steve Forbert’s terrific debut album “Alive on Arrival.”  Because he was.  “Alive on Arrival” speaks to the excitement of coming to the big town and making it work.  For Steve Forbert, that meant plenty of hard work, indefatigable optimism and the inspiration of an uncle’s unorthodox career.  Steve has known every up and down of the music industry.  But there is still the joy of playing, writing and creating music that he first felt growing up in Meridian, Mississippi.
