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 who got bad grades in school, are drunk on dreams, and still trying to figure out if life is sour or sweet.
