Five years ago, THE FORECAST emerged from the open skies and brisk, starry nights of the Midwestern town of Peoria, IL. Throughout their career, they have been recognized and respected for their honest, refreshingly genuine brand of indie rock with a hint of twang. THE FORECAST offers unique, passionate dual vocals with the high, lonesome soprano of bassist Shannon Burns merging with the vocal harmonies of guitarists Dustin Addis and Matt Webb. Their sound has earned them comparisons to influential Artists like THE ANNIVERSARY, RANIER MARIA and RYAN ADAMS. Since the release of their 2004 Victory Records debut, Late Night Conversations, THE FORECAST have spent endless nights on the road, growing their base of passionate, loyal fans from the ground up. With their profound new album, In the Shadow of Two Gunmen, THE FORECAST provide the soundtrack to life in America, portraits of love, aching emptiness, and whiskey fueled nights of self-discovery. In the song “And We All Return To Our Roots,” Burns cries out “All I want is a little place of my own, where I can rest my head,” echoing such a universal desire in a simple, beautiful phrase that repeats through the song. THE FORECAST continues to redefine and breathe new life into the indie rock and alt country genres with a bittersweet intensity and talent that hasn’t been seen in years.
