Forever Young

About Me

Playing throughout the mid-west since the late 90's, Forever Young has composed a fresh and unique blend of acoustic rock with smooth piano and driving rhythms. The band has recorded several CD's throughout the years.
Forever Young's lyrics are passionate, open-hearted, and sometimes brutally honest about searching for faith in a cold, cruel world. Combining this with driving rhythms and touching melodies, Forever Young's music can move a crowd to tears just as easily as shock them out of their seats.
The band's name is derived from Matthew 18:3 in reference to the fact we all must become as children and live "Forever Young" with Christ as we strive to reach so many who have lost that childhood innocence. Currently, Forever Young is in negotiations for a record contract and will be working on their debut CD with producer Jeff Deyo (former front man of SonicFlood).
