Sometimes the most powerful music is found in the quiet.The Quiet Room is a new collaborative musical project by solo bassist Kris Tischbein and singer-songwriter Andy Forgie, offering an intimate concert experience rooted in originality, emotion, and connection.
The concert unfolds across three, 30-minute sets. The evening begins with Kris Tischbein’s stunning solo bass compositions, known for their beauty and depth and featured in the award-winning documentary Strings of Inspirations. This is followed by Andy Forgie performing original songs exploring love (both lost and found), as well as selected works he wrote for his recording bands Creed and Photograph.
The final set brings Kris and Andy together on stage, performing personal favourites and musical pieces they admire- songs they might never have written themselves, but deeply connect with.
The Quiet Room has recently played to sold-out audiences at notable venues including Glanmore National Historic Site (Belleville), The Old Church Theatre (Trenton), Macaulay Church (Picton), Pinnacle Playhouse (Belleville), and the Campfire Series at Westben in Campbellford.
“…it’s okay to be original… it’s okay to be quiet.”
