Forsythia, the latest studio LP offering from Caleb Caudle is a portrait of his truest self, of the artist at his most solitary and reflective.

The album was recorded at the legendary Cash Cabin during the pandemic, and inspired by the solitude and symbols Caudle found in nature during that time. Music will start around 8:00.
