I get a lot of rides from friends given that I haven’t had a car in quite a few years & someone just stole my bike?!?!. A big perk of my friends being so nice is that, well, I get to and from work a hell of a lot faster & I get to hear what they are digging tune wise on that given day/ week.
That is how I stumbled onto the Brooklyn based Indie Folk crew of BIG TREE. My buddy CHRIS saved me from a watery walk home one day and threw these guys on. Fresh off a gig at the Monkey, CHRIS ganked their record/ loved it and shared.
Now we share a bit.
BIG TREE
“Big Tree… absolutely blew me away. Their sound was something of Explosions in the Sky / Broken Social Scene / Most Serene Republic. Epic post-rock elements mixed with proper rock and jazz and killer duet singing from excellent female fronted vocalists. They have a west coast summer tour on the horizon and I highly recommend going to see these guys. They really captured the intimacy of the venue and were one of the tightest bands I’ve seen in a long time. .”
