Night Tree in Marblehead!
Though each member of American/Swedish Night Tree originates from a different musical world, the six members have come together to create a new sound that is unique to their instrumentation and musical voice, both attracting and bewildering enthusiastic crowds while connecting folk music lovers, café radio junkies, jazz enthusiasts, free-improvisers, and beyond.

Brian ODonovan, Senior DJ at Bostons own radio station, WGBH, calls them One of the most exciting roots-based music groups to emerge from the New England Conservatory in many years.  Their individual chops and adventurous approach make Night Tree a band to watch for.

In September of 2016, six wildly diverse musicians came together unexpectedly within the walls of Bostons New England Conservatory to form New Acoustic band, Night Tree.  The group, all students at NEC, were named the Conservatorys WildCard Honors Ensemble for 2016-2017. Awards for this title included a sponsorship from NEC, a headlining performance at the historic Jordan Hall, and a year of working with Winifred Horan, fiddler and co-founder of Irish super-band, SOLAS.  Night Tree released their debut album on September 1st of this year, produced by Séamus Egan, another founding member of SOLAS. Their album was ranked in the top 15 of every category in the compilation by Richard Gillmann from FOLKDJ-L playlists based on 12,417 airplays from 127 different DJs:

TOP New Albums + Songs of Sept 2017:

No. 6  Night Tree / Night Tree, Wish On The Wind,
FoWrist, I Feel A Rumblin (Out of 70 New Albums).

TOP Artist of Sept 2017:
No. 9  Night Tree (Out of 40 Artists)

TOP New Songs of Sept 2017:
No. 15  Wish On The Wind

These six conservatory-trained musicians have absorbed genres from across the globe.  Night Tree is unique, not only for its abnormal instrumentation of two fiddles, cello, accordion, saxophone, percussion,  and the occasional viola and mandolin, but for their collective representation and incorporation of traditions from Irish, Classical, Swedish, Jazz, Klezmer, and Afro-Cuban music.  Each artists personality is given a spot to emerge with fiery improvisation, individual compositions, and a pristine ear. The band thrives on playing in darkness as to allow themselves the opportunity to solely listen with the absence of any possible visual distractions.  They react to each other at any given time, in a matter of seconds. They have learned to get inside each others musical minds, creating one blossoming and unpredictable wave of sound that is Night Tree.

Their second recording is being released in summer 2018.

Im thrilled to have been part of this brilliant young bands debut album. They play with such spark and musicality. Thoughtful compositions, precise, inventive arrangements. An absolute joy. Go hear them! -Séamus Egan, a founding member of SOLAS and Night Tree producer
