Music inspired by love for the land and faith in the power of people

Featuring Annemarie (Anumi) Hoffman on violin, and Jacob Sellars on bass.

An intimate but powerful folk rock experience, listeners are immersed in an original musical style. Lyrical stories blend themes of love, longing and friendship with messages of spiritual empowerment and the vision and strength to create a better world.

Forest Mountain Lion seeks to support local resilience movements that bring people together and spiritually redefine what we are as part of a larger whole. After years playing music in Los Angeles, where he received accolades from the LA Times for his orchestral rock project The Struggle Is Not Real, Forest traded a studio full of gadgets for an acoustic guitar and an elk skin drum so he could play music outdoors. He has a degree in orchestral composition from the University of Oregon and has recorded many albums, available on all streaming platforms.
