Every once in a while, a group comes along that changes the direction of music. They lead the way creating their own sound, while the rest of the industry searches for carbon-copy groups to jump on the bandwagon. With performers like Ed Sheeran, Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga, and Adele topping the charts, it's clear that Autotune and distorted grunge vocals have finally become a thing of the past. Audiences are again yearning for artists that can sing.
What a perfect time for Forewarned!

Everyone faces adversity.
Heading up the band is its founder and lead singer, Steve Supparits. Without the help of medical science, Steve would have died in 2010. Diagnosed with Polymyositis and Diabetes, Steve was found to have a rare condition where his white blood cells get confused and attack his own muscles. Not to fret, though. Not only is it not contagious, but thanks to proper medical care, Steve has regained all of his strength, and become a survivor and a fighter. Even at his worst, when the muscle damage in his blood was 1000 times greater than the average person’s and he could barely climb a set of stairs, Steve was still on stage performing and refused to quit (and he never let the audience know there was anything wrong)! Steve has become a symbol for the millions of people around the world dealing with health issues and life’s obstacles, and refusing to give up. Watching him run around on stage and put everything he has into his performances is truly inspiring.
With a great vocal range that he’s not afraid to use, Steve has developed a stage presence and energy in front of an audience that many musicians lack. When Forewarned opened for Kansas at the Molson Canal Concert Series, they set a local record as 5000+ people flocked to the stage to watch the opening set. Quoted the on-site engineer “This is amazing. Usually people come late and ignore the openers. I can’t believe how they rushed in when you guys took the stage!”
When Steve’s band opened for national recording artist Rick Derringer, “Mr. Derringer pulled me aside and said that we were the best opener he had ever seen.” quoted Steve. “He even asked us to go back on and close the show after he finished his set! The promoter told me that Rick had never done that before. Steve has also garnered a reputation for being a top Touring Audio and Studio Engineer. Steve is the producer and songwriter of Forewarned's new 2 disc set “ The Resurrection of Rock and Roll”.

Keyboards and Vocals: Lynn Carol Schriver.
Lynn is from Western New York's first family of country music, the Ramblin' Lou Family Band. Being raised in a Country band, by her Father, Ramblin' Lou Schriver, Lynn learned how to entertain. Lynn has performed all over the country, including being a member and regular entertainer at the WWVA Jamboree in Wheeling, West Virginia, and at Jamboree In The Hills.
“Not only is Lynn an astonishing vocalist, but she’s just as much of a natural on organs/synths as she is with the piano", said Steve. "Lynn is one of the rare musicians who know how to crawl inside a song, and bring it to life. Her charisma on stage is awe inspiring. Lynn brings that Charisma and incredible performance to every live show she does. There are many famous Country artists that have offered to help her out in any way they can. It's lucky for Forewarned that she is here!

Kenny Hawkins.
Kenny "K Hawk" Hawkins is one of the most versatile and talented musicians going today. Just Google his name and you'll see that he has worked with a literal A-Z of musicians across the country. Kenny garnered international acclaim with the Rick James Band, and has also worked with Mary J. Blige, Eddie Murphy, Boys 2 Men, Joe Public, Goo Goo Dolls, Snoop Dog, James Ingram, Stephanie Mills, and much more. Kenny has received multiple Platinum and Gold records, and he has played on numerous motion picture soundtrack scores. Kenny has even written music for Guitar Hero, NFL Highlights, NASCAR, and X-Box video games.
So with all of these accomplishments, what brings Kenny to Forewarned? "I love the music that Steve writes" quoted Kenny. "It's the kind of Rock that we grew up listening to, and it's really fun to play!" For Forewarned, it gives Kenny a chance to show off his Rock guitar ability that doesn't get utilized in a lot of other musical styles. What a win for all of us!

No Autotune! No Lip Syncing! No Tracks! It’s real, It’s damn real!
Forewarned is proud to not copy worn-out pop trends. With popular artists choosing to sing again, this is the perfect time for Forewarned’s style of actually singing. Plus, Forewarned does something that many Pop artists can’t - we can play live shows without lip-syncing or using pre-recorded tracks!; and believe me, our fans appreciate the amazing live concerts that we put on!
"My favorite thing about this group is the lack of ego's" said Steve. "We're basically a group of people who really like to play together and have a good time. It’s amazing how that radiates from the stage! Even though there are a couple of adult lyrics on the new CD, we pride ourselves in putting on an appropriate all-ages Rock show. Most importantly, take the time to see Forewarned at a live event. As proud as we are of our new CD, nothing compares to our live events!”
