"Forest Sun's music is full of life—real life, that is. It is joyful, but also poignant, upbeat and at the same time deep and soulful." - Elizabeth Lesser, Co-founder of Omega Institute and author of Broken Open
"Forest and his music bring life to anyone who listens. His spirit and voice are a shining gift." - Joan Halifax - Author of the Fruitful Darkness and Founder of Upaya Center
"We ask a lot from today’s songwriting minstrels – a catchy melody, a rhythm section which creates energy, but doesn’t overshadow the singer, and words that provoke and inspire. Forest Sun delivers in all these areas and his songs fit right into our mix, both in sound and message. I can’t imagine how I overlooked him until now. The folksy, soulful approach of this Northern California singer-songwriter has drawn comparisons to the early work of Van Morrison. This Sun seems likely to shine on a path of his own." Jim Blum - NPR / Folk Alley
"A wealth of star-roaming storytelling and slow drawl intimacy, recalling everyone from Chris Smither and Ryan Adams to Lyle Lovett in their easygoing charms and front porch bonhomie." Todd Lavoie - San Francisco Bay Guardian
“Forest Sun is now my favorite new singer-songwriter. How did this talented guy fall though the cracks? I'm not even sure how to describe his music because it incorporates elements of folk, pop, rock, Caribbean music, Cajun, jazz, country and blues. Did I leave anything out? Artists that he recalls include Ryan Adams, Jack Johnson, John Gorka, Todd Snider, even Van Morrison and Lyle Lovett. But I think it's more of an attitude; his songs are jaunty, timeless and spirit raising, even life-affirming.” Mac McDonald - Monterey Herald
