By popular demand from those who still love spinning CDs in their car (and the joy of supporting independent music directly), you can now own your very own limited edition physical copy of Songs from San Miguel, Vol. 1.
This album captures the spirit of the high alpine desert — a stripped-down, guitar-and-vocal journey through original and traditional acoustic songs inspired by the canyons, mesas, and rivers of San Miguel County, CO. Each track is a reflection of solitude, memory, and the grounding power of place.
Songs from San Miguel marks Brendan Forrest’s return to recording — and his first stripped down “guitar/voice” album. Crafted in Norwood, Colorado, and made possible through the Telluride Arts District’s Augment Grant, this album is an intimate testament to roots, reflection, and renewal.
Produced by: Brendan Forrest
Mixed & Mastered by: Andy Shoemaker
Performers:
Brendan Forrest – Guitar, Vocals, Banjo, Auxiliary Production
Ben Zorn – Mandolin (“Bear Creek”)
Emily Quayle – Vocals (“Inside a Song”)
Chris “C Bob” Elliott – Banjo (“How Mountain Girls Can Love”)
Patrik Ahlberg - Fiddle (“Longing for Your Loving” and “Like a Coyote I Howl for You”)
These songs are love letters to the wild poetry of San Miguel County — a place that shaped both my music and life. From the canyon winds to the festival lights of Telluride, every note carries a sense of gratitude and belonging.
Own the music. Feel the place. Support the story.
