With hands that glide like rivers over acoustic guitar, mandolin, and fiddle, Tavren doesn’t just play music — he summons it. Every note he coaxes from his strings tells a story: of old front porches and weathered barns, wildflowers and winding backroads, heartbreak and hope. Rooted in the traditions of Appalachian folk and classic American bluegrass, Tavren’s music carries the soul of the mountains and the heartbeat of the heartland.

Hey friends,

I just wanted to take a moment to say how rewarding it’s been working on this new website. It's been a journey all its own—kinda like writing a song: a little messy at times, a few late nights, but full of heart and purpose every step of the way.

Putting this site together gave me the chance to reflect on how far we’ve come, and dream about where we’re going next. It’s more than just a place to post show dates and tunes—it’s a home base. A little corner of the digital woods where we can share stories, laughter, and music.

🌍 Looking Ahead — Adventures, Journals & Front Porch Feels

This blog is gonna be where I keep you posted on everything. From tour tales and behind-the-scenes peeks to thoughts from the road and porch ramblings with the band, you’ll get a front-row seat to the real life of Tavren Forst.

Some days it might be poetic. Some days it might be pure chaos. But it’ll always be real.

🧢 New Merch, Straight from the Heartlan’

I’m also thrilled to finally start offering official Tavren Forst merch—designed with love, inspired by the road, and made for folks who live with music in their bones. We’ve got some great things in the works: shirts, hats, maybe even a few limited-edition surprises down the line. Keep your eyes on the firelight for those.

Thanks again for ridin’ with me, for showin’ up, and for giving the songs a place to land. We’re just gettin’ started, and I can’t wait to share this journey with you.

See you down the trail, – Tavren
