Rockin the Region with Scott Forrest
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. Scott plays all over the state and in New Hampshire as well. This is his only local gig for a bit but he also plays the Foundry July 26, Aug. 16, 24 and 30. You can see him July 18 on the Hancock town green, part of their free concert series at 6:30 p.m.
