Rocking The Casbah: Trees Of Everfree

By Bass Cliff, Music Reviewer

Our town of Seaddle is known well known for it’s music scene. We are home to notable acts such as Jimi Hoofdrix, Neighvana, Death Cab For Filly, and Alicorn In Reins to name a few. So, when new local bands are formed, they have a lot to live up to. One local band did just that last weekend, amazing the packed venue of ponies at The Paramount Theatre.

This new band, calling themselves Trees Of Everfree, have came together about a year ago as a few friends from school who wished to turn their passion for music into something more. Borrowing sound from their favorite local musicians, they work together to create a sound that is completely unique. With this style, Trees Of Everfree have played numerous of small shows and gained a small but dedicated fan base. Consisting of their frontstallion Double Time, guitarist Sweep Pick, bassist Dolce, and drummer who goes by the name of ‘Mohawk’, Trees Of Everfree have gained a following due in large part to their amazing live shows.

Starting of their show with a cover, “Start Me Up” by The Rolling Steeds, Trees Of Everfree got the entire audience grooving to the classic rock from across the pond. They proceeded to play a number of their own songs. A good amount of the fans seemed to sing along with the band as they played. Their on-stage energy kept the audience active and wanting more. From one of their own songs, titled “The Magic of the Rain”, they beautifully transitioned into another cover, this time into “My Iron Lung” by Radioherd. Wasting no time, they quickly started up again with another cover, “Where Is My Mind?” by The Parasprties, giving a wonderful musical twist to the song.

Continuing with their set, they played a few more of their own songs and one more cover, “Stand By Me” by Bit E. King. To wrap up their evening performance, they played one last cover. Double Time stated that the song was dedicated to the Hoof Fighters, who he said was a musical inspiration to not only Trees Of Everfree, but all of Seaddle. They closed their set with a cover of “Times Like These” that would make the Hoof Fighters proud.

Trees Of Everfree seem to be promising as a local band. They not only have a lot of talent individually, but as a collective. Fusing their love of alternative rock and other styles of music with their energetic live performances, they will certainly have plenty of fans who will go out of their way to see them live. And after last night’s show, I admit right here in this review that I am a fan of Trees Of Everfree. See them live, you won’t be disappointed.
