Here's your chance to experience real Americana folk blues straight from the heart of Texas. We are indeed fortunate to present Guy Forsyth and wife Jeska Bailey on tour from Austin, premiering their first CD, 'CONSPIRATORS'. Consisting of powerful originals and brilliantly chosen and executed covers, this first joint venture combines elemental blues, rootsy folk, rockin’ soul with hints of cabaret, creating a sound that's uniquely theirs.
Two incredible voices, augmented only by Guy’s masterful guitar playing, blend together seamlessly, creating a rich tapestry of musical textures. Jeska's inspirational vocals and honeyed, soulful harmonies, are a perfect compliment to Guy's gritty down and dirty blues sound.
For Jeska, it’s her first recording. Previously owner of a club in her hometown of San Angelo, Texas, where she sang in a blues band, in addition to doing acting, voice-over and photography work.
For Guy, this is the latest in a long string of albums. He is renowned in Texas music circles as a blues guitarist, harmonica and saw player and has won many Austin Music Awards including 2019 honors for Best Blues/Soul/Funk Band and Best Miscellaneous Instrument-harmonica, and 2018’s Best Male Vocals award. He’s certainly earned his status as one of Austin’s top talents.
In July 2019 their album 'CONSPIRATORS' charted at #5 for album of the month, Guy Forsyth & Jeska Bailey Duo charted #6 for artist of the month and their song 'THE THINGS THAT MATTER' came in at #1 on The Folk Alliance International Folk Charts.
