Bold Forbes is an acoustic NYC- and Cambridge-based trio made up of Nick Bloom, Reid Jenkins, and David Halpern. Their songs blend the structures of folk and country songwriting with imagistic lyrics and genre-busting arrangements for strings and voice. The New York Times has described their songs as “bouncy and earnest…taking palate-cleansing detours into both lyrical abstraction and dissonant instrumental noise, making for a result that resists cliches as much as it embraces tradition.”
Bold Forbes released their first full-length album High Time in 2018, and they released new singles, “Make Away” and “Arroyo Seco,” in Summer 2025 to critical acclaim from Under the Radar, the Bluegrass Situation, and other outlets. Their music is available on Spotify, iTunes, Apple Music, Amazon, YouTube and bandcamp. They have toured the Northeast extensively, and have shared the stage with such acts as Morningsiders, Maeve Gilchrist, Jefferson Hamer, Cassandra Jenkins, Cricket Blue, and Gillian Grogan.
