STEVE FORBERT WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 2005 @ 8PM THE CABARET 655 Penn Avenue Tickets: $15 at the Box Office at Theater Square | (412) 456-6666 | www.pgharts.org In the past quarter-century, the Mississippi-bred, Nashville-based singer/songwriter has built a deeply personal body of work that's won him a reputation for clear-eyed insight and plainspoken eloquence. In the process, he's evolved from the wide-eyed young troubadour of his early classics Alive On Arrival and Jackrabbit Slim to the mature, bittersweet outlook of his more recent work, which surveys darker territory with hard-won empathy and deeply-ingrained rock 'n' roll soul. www.steveforbert.com _________________
