Forest Beutel, a nationally touring musician since he was 18 years old, will rock the Treehouse Café at 8 p.m. Friday, Dec. 22 in a special free concert.

Donations are appreciated, doors open to those 21-and-older only.

Beutel is a one-man band extraordinaire, and is currently a leading figure in the genre called Americana Blues, drawing influences from roots music across the U.S. His voice blends the high lonesome sounds of Hank Williams and Townes Van Zandt with gruff baritone vibrations akin to Tom Waits and Johnny Cash.

His banjo, harmonica, and voice combine to create a soulful and unique sound.
