Forrest O'Connor (born April 1, 1988 in Nashville, Tennessee) is an American singer-songwriter, mandolinist, and entrepreneur. He is the son of violin virtuoso and composer Mark O'Connor.
== Early life ==
O'Connor grew up in Nashville, Tennessee. His father, Mark O'Connor, was a country session fiddler during the first few years of his life, giving the younger O'Connor firsthand exposure to many of the leading figures in the country music scene, such as Dolly Parton, Marty Stuart, Emmylou Harris, Bela Fleck, Jerry Douglas, and Sam Bush. In 2000, he moved with his mother, Suzanne, to Missoula, Montana, where he picked up the mandolin. As a student at Hellgate High School, he wrote for his local newspaper, ''The Missoulian'', and placed second in a national journalism competition. He graduated in 2006 from Hellgate High School as his class valedictorian.
That fall, O'Connor enrolled at Harvard College. As a sophomore, he co-founded a short-lived progressive bluegrass band called The Hay Brigade, which performed on Public Radio International's ''The World'' and WGBH's ''A Celtic Sojourn''. John Lawless of Bluegrass Today praised The Hay Brigade for possessing a "stunning level of virtuosity and a fine sense of the appropriate mix of improvisation and melody when it comes to folk-derived music." As an undergraduate, O'Connor was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa and awarded a Thomas T. Hoopes Prize for his senior thesis on F-5 mandolin design. He graduated ''summa cum laude'' with a B.A. in sociomusicology.
