"a sublime, surprising, bristling and hearty stew of Irish lyricism, daredevil jazz aerobatics and punk rock moxie.....both the elegance and the energy are off the chain." -Greg Tate, Village Voice
NYC-based violin/guitar duo Brazz Tree continues to astound and endear audiences across the country with their brand of music: New World Acoustic Rock. Though it draws on traditional forms born in places as far-flung as Ireland and India, their Music remains firmly rooted in the exuberant, questing ethos of the New World.
Since they began touring in 2004, Brazz Tree has traveled extensively throughout the U.S. and the Netherlands playing colleges and Universities, Theaters, Clubs, Art Centers, church coffeehouses, house concerts and libraries. They have performed at the SXSW Music Festival's World and Eclectic Music stage in Austin, TX and were on the Relix magazine compilation CD, as well as in their "Listen Up" section. Brazz Tree has received Radio play from across the country including a spotlight on NPR and Acoustic Cafe (ACAFE) as "one to watch". They have performed on the Woodsongs Radio Hour at the Lexington Theater (Lexington, KY) to a sold out crowd, WVIA's Homegrown Music Series and WNYC's Soundcheck with John Schaefer.
Brazz Tree's first CD "…Quest…" was released in 2004. It included rising tabla star, Suphala and Jason DiMatteo on double bass. They spent the next year touring and writing before they brought new material to producers Alan Camlet and Pete Thompson. With a bevy of guest artists and guest producer Michael Leonhart (Steely Dan, Lenny Kravitz), Brazz Tree's newest creation "Spiral On" is the next step in the evolution of the band with a much more complex sound incorporating electric bass and guitar, drums, loops and samples and a string ensemble. The listener is taken on a musical journey, bringing to mind the music of Peter Gabriel, Fiona Apple and Jefferson Airplane.

I'm very glad to get this site where I can put in contact bands and artists so different in their styles but with the same siplicity, the same humanity and attention to the others like : Braz Tree, Soultemple (F.... metal band froim Sweden, allways with a kind word for their friends), Mr. Jimi "Sepia XXXXXXXXXXL" Hazel - great guitar player, big boss of 24-7 Spyz, an institution in the Bronx rock history, a gentleman in every sense of the word, my (best!) friend Jean Claude Massart - another gentleman and VERY talented songwriter, and N.I.L., czech group with a huge talent... ooops! I forgot Pimpersticker from Holland : strong rock and really good persons. Well, listen to the music of these great musicians and do not forget to tell 'em the emotions you felt ! I wish the best to Brazz Tree, to their originality and all the wonderful feelings their music give me.
