<p>An American Forrest will perform at the Fort George Brewery Sunday, Feb. 2.</p>

ASTORIA An American Forrest aka Alex Forrest VanTuyl will bring its sounds of a Northwest winter to kick off Fort George Brewerys Stout Month celebration aka February. Catch the band playing at 8 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 2.

Hailing from Seattle, An American Forrest blends twangy Americana just like its name suggests.

VanTuyl was born in a rural Washington farmhouse surrounded by conifers and a barn with ideal acoustics for country music. An education in Impressionism began in 2012 with a five-month stint living in Europe, and ended in a songwriting aesthetic founded on fleet-footed imagery, sensory-triggered memories, heroic women, rural Western American scenery, and a God that bears a striking resemblance to Ernest Hemingway. An American Forrest will be on tour indefinitely.

The Fort George Brewery is located at 1483 Duane St. in Astoria. Enjoying the music is free, and is open to all ages until 10 p.m. For more information, call 503-325-7468 or visit www.fortgeorgebrewery.com
