North Fork Crossing with Brendan Forrest @ The Alibi
About This Event
Join us for an evening of high-energy bluegrass, Americana, and modern string band music with North Fork Crossing and Brendan Forrest.
Based in Montana’s Gallatin Valley, North Fork Crossing brings a fresh, new-age approach to bluegrass — blending timeless fiddle tunes, heartfelt ballads, old-time country, modern covers, and jamgrass-inspired improvisation. Formed in 2021, the five-piece band has quickly built a reputation across the West for dynamic live shows full of tight musicianship, energetic peaks, and unexpected turns that keep audiences dancing.
The band recently released their debut self-titled album, North Fork Crossing, a powerful introduction to their sound featuring original fiddle tunes, driving bluegrass, and carefully crafted songwriting.
Opening the night is Brendan Forrest, an award-winning singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist whose music bridges traditional folk, bluegrass, and contemporary Americana. Known for intricate flatpicking, poetic lyricism, and a deep sense of place, Brendan brings more than 20 years of musical experience across four continents, with collaborations including Michael Cleveland, Dominick Leslie, Allie Kral, Duncan Wickel, George Jackson, Jake Stargel, and more.
Expect a night of powerful picking, thoughtful songwriting, and modern bluegrass energy.
Brendan Forrest is a Southwest Colorado-based Folk/Americana/Bluegrass artist whose music draws on bluegrass, folk, Celtic tradition, and Americana without neatly fitting into any one lane. Born into an Irish-American family on Chicago’s North Side, Forrest began on the highland bagpipe before guitar became his central instrument. His work has taken him through Chicago jazz studies, international travel, production, songwriting, and collaborations with acclaimed musicians, including Michael Cleveland, Dominick Leslie, Duncan Wickel, George Jackson, and Jake Stargel. Rooted now in San Miguel County, Forrest writes songs shaped by movement, memory, place, and tradition.
