A big weekend is upon us and a great way to celebrate it is by going to the Foundry on Saturday to see Scott Forrest at 6 p.m. I’ve known Scott for a while but recently reconnected with him musically. He did a showcase that George Nostrand and I put on at A Sound Space and he blew me away. Scott plays something for everyone. It’s just him and his guitar, and a whole lot of musical fun.
