About

Chris Forte

Guitarist/Musician

Welcome to my site and thank you for your interest in my music!

Glad to have another successful tour completed with Mannheim Steamroller, and looking forward to the many musical adventures continuing into 2023.

My current album, Backyard Astronomy, has been featured on several Spotify playlists, and has received over 10,000 plays on Spotify as well as dozens of reviews since its release!

I have the pleasure of playing some excellent tribute shows each month at the Raue Center for the Arts in Crystal Lake, IL with the SoundTracks Of A Generation family. In January, we have Desert Rock - tribute to Laurel Canyon and featuring the music of The Byrds, The Eagles, Linda Ronstadt, Joni Mitchell, Jackson Browne, Crosby Stills Nash & Young. February we are bringing the amazing Aretha Franklin Tribute Show - Soul Bliss, featuring my good friend and band mate, LaShera Moore, and am impressive 10-piece band. In March, we are returning with the excellent Irish Heartbeat show, tributing Van Morrison, and featuring Derrick Procell whose album Hello Mojo is still reigning on the Blues charts nationwide.

Here is a link to my YouTube page if you'd like to browse some of my live videos. If you like what you see or hear, please feel free to let me know and don't forget to subscribe, like, comment, and share.

I appreciate the support. Thank you!
