Forbert may have fallen off the mainstream radar in recent years, but make no mistake — he continues to tour and record and now has some two dozen recordings out there. His latest, The Time and the Place, was released in March and has gotten critical acclaim.

The Mississippi-born artist hit the big time with his 1979 release, Jackrabbit Slim, which yielded “Romeo’s Tune.” The song hit the top 20 on the Billboard charts and put Forbert on the map.

A few record-label squabbles posed something of a drawback. But Forbert is still at it and is easily one of the most acclaimed American songwriters of the past three decades.

Now you a have two chances to see for yourself.
