Paul Kuhn recently played his Cellocaster on Dan Bern's title track to the new documentary by director Jonathan Demme (Silence Of The Lambs, Philadelphia, Stop Making Sense, Heart Of Gold, etc) entitled "Jimmy Carter: Man From Plains." The movie was in theatres back in October and November and is now available for rental on DVD. The soundtrack is also now available and features the music of Dan Bern, Alejandro Escovedo, Gillian Welch, Brother Ali, and other great artists.
Anyway, Treehouse is the convergence of singer/songwriters Larry Good, Dan Sheridan, and Paul Kuhn which began in the Roaring Fork Valley, Colorado area back in 1994. Treehouse has self-produced three recordings, played about 1,000 gigs around Colorado and Utah, especially Grand Junction for some reason. Members of Treehouse played the HORDE festival in Denver, the High Sierra Festival in California, opened for Sheryl Crow, Barenaked Ladies, Guster, Whiskey Town, WAR, Warren Zevon, Sonia Dada, Better Than Ezra, Young Dubliners, Sam Bush and John Cowan, and many others before these other artists became massive, world-wide icons. Paul Kuhn played in a band in college with Vertical Horizon singer Matt Scannell, has performed with the late Bobby Sheehan of Blues Traveler, sat in with Sean Kelly and the Samples, and DJ Logic. Paul also played on Doug Derryberry and John Alagia's first CD, "Southpaw," and on Dan Bern's "New American Language." Paul is also applying for a patent on an instrument he designed that is a cross between a cello, guitar, and violin, called the Cellocaster. Songwriters Dan Sheridan and Larry Good have each won the coveted Telluride Troubador Contest. Treehouse songwriter Dan Sheridan has had music featured on network television shows, and Paul Kuhn's "Blackberry Jam" was featured on an extreme sports program on MTV. But none of that makes one bit of difference now, right? So Dan Sheridan still resides in the Aspen area, recording and performing solo. Larry Good is composing music for films, performing solo and with Jes Grew. Paul Kuhn is back in Milwaukee, and tours and records with rising star Dan Bern and sits in with the Samples when they're in the neighborhood. Treehouse bassist Billy Conn currently resides in Basalt and plays in the Natives with Steve Skinner and in several other area bands. Drummer Todd Skarda is playing in a band and doing session work in Little Rock, Arkansas. Eliah Levy has moved on to playing the Chapman Stick and lives in LA. Paul Valentine plays his drums with many Roaring Fork Valley bands. So Treehouse is currently on hiatus, but we made these three albums and we spent a sizable chunk of money and worked real hard on them, and we still think our songs sound unique and fresh. So we're sending them with a lot of love out there to you, the listener, hoping you will dig 'em. Treehouse's album "Blend" is now available at iTunes and all the other major download services.
