Forrest McCurren comes from the heart of the heartland, where the foothills of the Ozarks meet the Big Muddy: The Middle-of-Missouri. Blazing his own trail while stylistically tipping his hat to the songwriting giants of the past, McCurren wields the magic of lyricism to cast a light on the many intricacies of everyday life set against vignettes of Middle America. Tackling topics such as: wise words from waitresses, heartbroken high school football standouts, and tattooed trailer park lovers, McCurren writes songs for good people that got bad grades in school, are drunk on dreams, and still trying to figure out if life is sour or sweet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76shra7afp0

"""Jonivan Jones is a songwriter hailing from Arkansas, who began making music in 1994, crafting and recording melodies on an old 4 track tape recorder. He began writing songs while growing up in Arkansas and learning traditional style folk music at gatherings in the Ozarks.

Over time, he ventured into the realm of publishing and affecting audiences with his compositions, chasing opportunities to perform and connect with listeners since 2006. Living a transient lifestyle for work from the age of 19, he devoted the years to experimenting with the different sounds and styles encountered along the way.

South Pacific travels, Twang and Psychedelic sounds learned and performed live in South Texas to early years of learning old Folk, Blues and Cowboy campfire style songs in Arkansas helped this cook over into its rough-hewn jangly form. The musical style can also be characterized by its ragged lilts and reverence to Delta & Folk Blues.

Live performances are a stirred-up framework of genres, creating a unique but familiar sound. Years of songwriting and random live shows amassed a catalog of unique music that is often a nod to life’s pact with the wild."" https://youtu.be/c5Z2a83Iy2U?si=e4qz0l6mMvgiEC63"
