Simple Tree delivers breathy female vocals in a winding medley of organic, passionate sound with an eclectic soulful groove that sways in a jazzy direction.Band/artist history
Simple Tree was formed, after many jam sessions, in Februaury of 2001 in Oklahoma City. The band spent most of 2001 and 2002 playing open mics and live shows to get their music heard and build a fan base. The tree continued to branch out, and spent the end of 2002 and most of 2003 playing live shows in New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, and California. On March 27th, 2004 the band released their new album "Playing for Petals". A live recording from Galileo's in Oklahoma City, and a studio recording from Dallas Sound Lab. The band also introduced their newest member, John Wygle on electric guitar at the CD release party. John added the space that was floating above the complex piano arrangements and soulful vocals of Mel Wooden, with the aggresive hand percussions of Chadd Phillips & Bunk Pergl. Currently, Simple Tree has their album selling in local music stores, and are in gear for this years' live shows.Have you performed in front of an audience?Yes...we love to play live shows...and exchange energy with the audience. We have been playing all around the midwest region, and spent 6 months on the road touring through the west coast. We recently released our new album "Playing for Petals" at Galileo's in OKC, OK, and packed the place. It was a very memorable evening.....
