Concert: Allen-Forrester Band

Founded by New York guitarists Josh Allen and Ben Forrester, the band gives the classic twin-guitar sound a modern twist. Bluesy melodies, rich harmonies, and driving rhythms merge into an exhilarating mix that is as authentic as it is powerful. Inspired by legends like The Allman Brothers Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Black Crowes, Gov’t Mule, and Blackberry Smoke, the band's soulful and electrifying style thrives on a modern yet timeless and authentic retro sound. Their debut album, released in 2023, quickly made waves with captivating guitar solos, precise grooves, and catchy hooks. Some songs are classic rock 'n' roll anthems, while others highlight their song-oriented and emotional side. In addition to their studio work, the band has released two live EPs (“Heading South” and “Eastbound”), which capture the raw energy and passion of their live performances. With their dynamic German rhythm section – Hendrik Herder on bass and Matthias Böhm on drums – they ignite a "true fireworks display of blues and rock" on stage. (RockTimes).
