Kurt Fortmeyer's Page

"Tap your toes, hum along, get a little lift, and learn something in the process. That’s country music the way it’s supposed to be done...carried on an easy and pleasing melody delivered by a voice so pleasant it can take some effort to pay attention to the lyrics rather than just drift away."

- Dave Pilot, OUTLAW Magazine (Jul 21, 2014)

"When I hear songwriters like Kurt Fortmeyer, it makes me wonder if the Music City record executives ever leave their offices. How can so many great wordsmiths, like Fortmeyer, be overlooked, while mediocre songs are shoved down our throats. If you are tired of the steady diet of bland gruel that is being served up from the Nashville music cafeteria, do yourself a favor and get Kurt Fortmeyer's 'One More Night In Nashville' today."

“Kurt Fortmeyer is clearly committed to the roots of his raisin'. Fresh, fun, creative songwriting with music that is firmly rooted in Traditional Country. A nice voice that is easily recognizable, smooth and easy on your ears. A must play for any DJ on the cutting edge of Traditional Country and Ameripolitan Music.Your listeners will soon be Fortmeyer fans!”

- Woody Adkins, The Real Deal Country Show and Midnight Country on KOPN 89.5 FM Columbia, MO.

"Gathered in the upstairs living room were members of another class. Kurt Fortmeyer, a six-year Third Sunday vet, had the room entranced with a Dave Gibson co-write titled “The Box.” On one past Sunday afternoon, the red-bearded Fortmeyer hit a lick of good fortune when he played a tune in the presence of guitar guru Dave Isaacs, who recorded the song on his next CD."

“Yet it was the night’s bookends that perhaps best characterized the spirit of the gathering, a pair of hard-working but lesser-known singer-songwriters named Anthony Neff and Kurt Fortmeyer. Neff, the organizer and emcee of the event, did a nice job with “Nothin’” and “Buckskin Stallion Blues” after speaking eloquently about the legacy of Van Zandt’s songs and how they continue to inspire other songwriters to carry on the craft. And Fortmeyer capped the night with a spirited “Two Hands” that had those left in the club clapping and singing along. The inspired had become the inspirer.”
