Allen-Forrester Band
The Allen-Forrester Band is a Blues and Rock band founded by New York guitarists Josh Allen and Ben Forrester. Inspired by the pioneers of the genre like The Allman Brothers Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Marshall Tucker, they put a new spin on the classic twin guitar sound and have combined their influences into a stirring mix of straight forward Blues Rock and melodic, song-oriented American Rock.
Their live shows are not only a showcase of sophisticated guitar riffs and Josh’s weathered, bluesy voice, but also of the entire band’s joy of playing and improvising. The German rhythm section with Hendrik Herder on the bass and Matze Böhm on the drums complete the modern yet timeless sound of the band. After two successful tours of Europe in 2019 and 2021 and the release of their first Live album in 2020, the band will return to play shows in Germany, Austria and the Netherlands in June 2022 and will have their second Live disc in tow with their debut album set to be released at the end of the year.
