Trees And Timber

Band,
Rock

It's the timeless tale told countless times, since before your great-great-great grandfather's mother met your great-great-great grandfather's uncle. Girl meets boy, boy meets girl, and seven years later, they start a Rock 'n' Roll band. Joe Baker and Gwen Lewandoski started Trees and Timber in 2011 after discovering they had a knack for layering catchy melodies and hooks over sweet pop songs and driving Rock and Roll. Two months after Gwen first plucked the strings of a bass guitar, they recorded their first song, Eskimo Sun. It was a year before they showed up in front of a live audience, by then well-armed with an arsenal of catchy, energetic pop songs, a 500 pound Hammond, and a drummer. In 2013, the now 3-piece Trees and Timber recorded the five song EP, Electric Gypsy Lovechild with producer Dick Rossetti and the great Don Farwell at Earwig Studio. Stories from those contentious two days of recording have become the stuff of legend: fist fights, freak outs, multiple drug overdoses, and crowds of parasitic hangers-on. All said and done, they had their EP, and were on the search for a new drummer. They dubbed their sound "Aggressive Pop Supreme". Not until May of that same year, with the addition of Paul Rybicki, was this Tacoma trio able to live up to that self-proclaimed title. They began writing and recording in earnest, completing their first tour de force/magnum opus/masterpiece in 2014. Its called Hello, My Name is Love. You should buy it. It's pretty damn good.
