Forest’s songs mine his deep folk roots and embrace his love of gospel, reggae, Americana, country, and soul. “... alt country, folk-rock jams, creating a hodgepodge of comparisons that ranged from Jack Johnson to Ryan Adams to David Gray. ...even into Bob Dylan territory ... a daunting place to tread, but pulled off with the grace of a musical veteran.” - Jessica Small - Santa Barbara Independent About Michael On Fire: Michael on Fire is a fiercely independent musical artist who has lived his entire adult life as a full-time musician, playing original music.

Michael On Fire lights a room and connects with something deep in the psyche in a way that makes you feel you’ve known the songs your whole life. His tunes are as though they were preordained in memory. His entire set clicked open a receptor that made it immediately recognizable, though I had never heard his music before. There is something about Michael on Fire that connects like no other. He is singularly peerless.” - Tom Cochrun, Light Breezes [Cambria, Calif.]
