Leo Forde New Orleans, Louisiana
www.leofordemusic.com
Sometimes it’s a real blessing, a gift, to encounter music that isn’t dutifully
trying to Prove Something, insisting that we admire its Authenticity. Guitarist Leo Forde has got the wonderful notion into his head and fingers that music, candid and gentle, ought to be enough for anyone. And he’s not only intellectually right, but emotionally so.
