The Brooklyn
Session

“The Brooklyn Session” is an intimate DIY collaboration with renowned fiddler — Duncan Wickle of Rising Appalachia. The EP was recorded in Wickle’s home studio in Brooklyn during a visit to New York City. This two-part ‘single’ captures the reunion of old friends who’d known each other fresh out of music school. With years of life experience behind them in their time apart, the two effortlessly blend into one honest portrayal of Forrest’s two compositions and showcase the trust of two old friends playing music in the solace of one’s home studio.

The album comprises original songs rooted in traditional bluegrass, all done with a bright and joyful élan — a perfect springboard to his future efforts.
