Forever Son is singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jack Robbins. Drawing inspiration from Crosby Stills Nash & Young, Daniel Rossen and Fleet Foxes, Forever Son’s sound is raw and free flowing with a splash of reverb.
His songs imbue dreamy, sun-soaked mornings without the restraint of calculated thought. Forever Son performs both solo and as a three-piece band, alternating between pensive solo acoustic moments and head-nodding, foot-tapping folk rock.

Following on from 2015’s Last Year’s Tune, Golden Boy is tender, angry, introspective and political over the course of its 10 tracks. Split into two 5 track volumes the full length LP first tackles themes of privilege, masculinity, crime and ambition before moving into an introspective and autobiographical exploration of lessons learned (or not).
