What to know before you go

Check the door time listed by the official ticket seller. Plan to arrive at least 30 minutes early to clear security and reach your section.
Security check: most venues prohibit professional cameras, large bags and outside food. Check the venue's official policy before traveling.
Bring the same payment card or QR code you used at checkout. Some venues no longer print physical tickets — phone screen is enough.
Dress for the genre and the weather — outdoor shows can get cold after sunset. Comfortable shoes for standing-only sections.

What to expect

This is date 5 of the 7 that Steve Forbert has scheduled in our catalog through November 2026. There are 7 dates in United States. The previous stop is Milwaukee (November 4) and the next one is Bloomington (November 6).

The GoAllConcerts take

Steve Forbert, born in 1954 in Meridian, has seven dates across the United States between October and November 2026. The route takes in Beacon, New Hope, Piermont, Milwaukee, Chicago, Bloomington and St. Louis, with stops at rooms such as the Towne Crier Cafe, Shank Hall and the Old Town School of Folk Music. That tells you who this tour is for: people who like a traditional-music songwriter in a mid-sized room, with the voice front and center. Bob Harris of BBC Radio 2 called it one of the most distinctive voices in the world, and that is the case for seeing him up close. When buying, look at 1 November, since there are two shows that day, in New Hope and in Piermont. Our advice is to pick the most convenient city and book early.
