Working cowboy, touring musician, and fencepost enthusiast Forrest Vantuyl's music hews closer to the literature of Annie Proulx and Cormac McCarthy than to Marty Robbin's Gunfighter Ballads - Inspired by his time on horseback in the remote corners of Oregon and Washington, Forrests songs are redolent with carefully crafted details of rural life in the West, speaking of the taciturn men and women who work this land of rugged beauty. In addition to touring extensively as Margo Cilker's bass and guitar player, Forrest is a regular performer at the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering, has played with Sera Cahoone, Ramblin' Jack Elliot, and Corb Lund, and been featured by The New York Times, National Geographic, NPR, and KEXP.
