Dosey Doe Coffee House presents Guy Forsyth and Carolyn Wonderland: Holidays by Candlelight.  Join two Austin icons as they take a brief respite from their normal headlining shows to creating a super group for 1 special night. This hipster holiday show will feature a stocking full of seasonal songs in the stylings of blues, folk, country, rock & Big Band sounds.

Guy Forsyth - It’s been a long and dusty, winding road for Austin singer/songwriter Guy Forsyth that’s lead to a recent surge in praise over his dazzling live shows and his rich Americana roots sound. Forsyth brings a unique mixture of styles such as folk, rock, country, and Tin Pan Alley to create a sound that’s as heterogeneous, raw and compelling as America itself.

You’ll hear powerhouse vocals deliver energetic yarns about love, the government and the apocalypse, to name a few, as Forsyth squeezes everything he has into each song and rarely come up for air.

Carolyn Wonderland - One of the most impressively powerful voices recently heard anywhere. Able to boon, cajole, promise and growl with equal power, she plays guitar with much the same forcefulness: Incorporating elements of Blues, Country, Swing, Zydeco, Surf, Gospel, Soul, & some nights, maybe even Cumbia.

Comparisons to Janis [Joplin] are always there since she's rooted in blues and R&B, but it's still rock & roll, and like Janis, Carolyn can take it into country. She's also an incredible guitar player and a great person, so humble. The combination is disarming and totally real. That's magic.
