"Light shining into a prism and refracting in unexpected directions is a glorious sight to behold. Sonically, Forest & the Evergreens is that sort of prism — one of the brightest and most colorful in town…" – Chris Deville, Columbus Alive.
Formed in October of 2011, Forest & the Evergreens blend neo-soul, R&B, and 'young funk'(self-dubbed), to create a sound that doesn't "strictly adhere to the genre, but doesn't exactly fit in anywhere else either…It's evolution, baby!"
Since that time, they've rocked crowds big and small, from tiny gallery spaces to a sold-out crowd at Columbus' LC Pavilion. They were named a "Band to Watch: 2013" by Columbus Alive Magazine, and "Best Local Band of 2013" Columbus Underground Magazine.
The band consists of Parker Muntz (vocals, guitar), Terrance Farmer (keys, saxophone, vocals), Mickey Drury (guitar), Jeff Bass (bass), and Mike Twice (drums).
This past June (2014), F&TE release their debut EP, 'Young Funk'.
