Trees on Fire

ORGANICA

About Me

Trees on Fire delivers airtight four-part harmonies supported by a unique blend of electronic and organic styles that gives rise to the term "organica." Formed in music school and honed through live performance and rehearsals in the deep woods, Trees on Fire spreads its original, innovative grooves and delivers its inspirational messages to thousands along the east coast. The group’s debut CD, The Green Room (April 2007), captures the genre-bending cross pollination that takes place when this quintet comes together. Creating a significant following through internet exposure and performances described as "the stuff of legends," Trees on Fire is making noise with all the right people. Dave Matthews Band’s Boyd Tinsley believes TOF is "a band to watch for sure" and has expressed a desire to collaborate with the five, saying simply, "I look forward to working with them."
