Paper Trees

About Me

Paper Trees have knees
Paper Trees was a side project of mine that I started back in 2007. The songs didn't particularly fit into the genre of the band I was in at the time so it became a very fulfilling outlet for me. The EP Haves Knees was recorded between late 2007 and early 2008 with help from a few local musicians but was never released. Eventually, Paper Trees fell to the wayside as I pursued other musical endeavors. It wasn't until September of 2008 that I decided to revisit it and begin writing new songs.
