Steve Forbert is a true American treasure, a fact underscored by his 21st album, Daylight Savings Time. Like all his work, it features his keenly observant songwriting—finding magic in everyday moments—paired with melodic and poetic charm.
Now approaching 70, Forbert reflects on time and life’s simple pleasures in Daylight Savings Time, with the single “Sound Existence” celebrating the extra hour of daylight and the idea that “you could still get by just fine.”
Forbert arrived in NYC from Meridian, Mississippi, in 1976, becoming a fixture in both the folk revival and CBGB’s punk scene. He busked in Greenwich Village and Grand Central Station before signing with Nemperor/CBS Records. His 1978 debut Alive on Arrival was followed by Jackrabbit Slim and its hit single “Romeo’s Tune,” launching his enduring career.
A striking live performer—“very much worth seeing and hearing” (NYT)—Steve Forbert continues to captivate audiences with his timeless voice and artistry.
