Chris Forsyth

Chris Forsyth is an American guitarist and songwriter, born in 1973, who grew up in New Jersey and is based in Philadelphia. He came out of New York's improvised and experimental scene and now plays long-form guitar rock that draws on free jazz, folk and the interlocking guitar style of Television, often with his Solar Motel Band. Forsyth studied guitar with Richard Lloyd of Television and with Joe Morris, and co-founded the group Peeesseye in 2002. Kenzo Deluxe (Northern Spy, 2012) was followed by Solar Motel (Paradise of Bachelors, 2013), a four-part suite that gave his band its name.
