Drummer Forrest Robinson Loses All In Eaton Fire Tragedy

With seven Grammy Awards under his belt, Forrest Robinson has built quite the musical career for himself. He’s toured as a drummer with bands India.Arie, Victor Wooten, Randy Crawford, Joe Sample, TLC, Ray Parker Jr., The Crusaders, Fifth Dimension, and Arrested Development to name a few. He has also performed live on “Saturday Night Live,” “Late Show with David Letterman,” “Good Morning America,” and many more. Forrest is also the drummer in Phil Collen’s (Def Leppard lead guitarist) blues-rock-n-soul band Delta Deep.

On the night of January 8th, 2025, during the devastating California fires that ravaged tens of thousands of acres, including the entire city of Altadena, Forrest’s home he shared with his wife Paige, was razed to the ground. This included his music studio, revered drum set ‘Gretchen,’ all his musical instruments, and vital computer equipment. Forrest and Paige evacuated their home the evening before, as directed, wearing only the clothes on their backs carrying their small pup.

’The Shoutout Music Appreciation 101’, a weekly radio program on the Stationhead music platform and it’s dedicated listening family, the TSO Audio Crew, have unified with the creation of this GoFundme to get the attention of many to help us assist Forrest who has been a dear friend, thoughtful person and masterful musical talent. We love you Forrest.

Please help Forrest and Paige begin the restoration of their lives and help Forrest, an artist of the greatest degree, heal the pain of losing everything he used to create.

Forrest and Paige plan on re-building their home. Anything you feel free to give will be enough.

Thank you. Bless you. #ForForrest
