Somewhere just into the woods, a few minutes from downtown Clarion Pennsylvania, there is a barn where Trees writes and rehearses a technical orchestration of indie, rock, and pop elements. While some of the songs have been in the mind of singer/guitarist Ben Kunkle for quite some time...the project of Trees as a functioning band wasn't conceived until mid-September of 2005. From the remains of the DuBois band Garage Sale came Ben and drummer Pat Gallagher (also of Ahimsa Sunrise). Trees enlisted the additional guitar, vocals, and writing from Joel Masters (also of The Calm). Trees would not be a whole unit until joined by bassist Ryan Hadbavny (guitar and vocals of defunct Pittsburgh band, Brash). The group rehearsed one song "Brick Wall" and premiered it at a local showcase to a medium sized audience. Beyond confusion over the identity of the new collaboration, the song was well received and Trees knew they were ready to write more. Since then, Trees has been busy building a full set and playing shows from time to time. Keep on the lookout for upcoming performances and updates.
