About Me

Jumpin Tree Snail have been together for three years under this name. We were the Barley Lofters until Bob our bass player moved away. The Jumpin Tree Snail play original tunes written by Steve Hoecker and Steve Freitas. The Steve's each have a different style of music which offers a great contrast of songs. We also cover alt country, folk, and traditional bluegrass songs. Rory and Steve H have been playing music together for over 10 years.
