The
Giving Tree Band planted its roots more than five years ago in
a foundation of Americana music with a sustainable philosophy. Less
than a year has passed since the release of their debut double album, Unified Folk Theory,
and TGTB have already drawn considerable attention from both
entertainment and environmental press including the first ever music
review in Mother Earth News magazine. They have
recorded a whole lot more music to be released including
a Christmas album (Bring It Back Home For Christmas), a carbon
neutral album (Great Possessions), a live tribute album celebrating HH
Dalai Lama (Concert For Peace), and several songs inspired by the
upcoming film Public Enemies starring Johnny Depp. TGTB
peformed those songs impromptu on a Friday in April and so impressed
casting staff that they found themselves on set as extras in a scene
with Johnny Depp on Monday. Studio versions include Casey Driessen of
the Sparrow Quartet. Needless to say, The Giving Tree Band has kept
busy.
