Sound

Buoyed by the kind of chops and on-stage chemistry that can only be forged by years of playing on the road together, Good Trees River Band combine a vast variety of influences into their intoxicatingly psychedelic rock and roll brew.

Their improv heavy live shows are a blast of energy, fueled by the ever evident passion the quartet puts into every last note.

Between the blistering leads of guitarist Danny Circharo and the rollicking rhythms of longtime trio Gavin Gebhardt (vocals/percussion), Ned Brady (bass) and Evan Valentine (drums, vocals), Good Trees are a band that can and will do anything in any given moment. Don’t miss your next opportunity to see for yourself.

History

Hold on to Your Horses grabbed the attention of listeners throughout the Northeast and beyond. This release was the result of a hardworking history – spreading their musical magic through grassroots gusto. GTRB’s sound has evolved immensely since the bands original formation. Initially drawing inspiration from Jam music and traditional Americana, the sound established in the early years was loose, but fun, maybe even slightly subdued. As the band developed further, so did their sound, reflecting a heavier and more psychedelic influence in their music. The band now is firing on all cylinders, and their live shows touch on all fronts of this ever-broadening soundscape.

Formed in 2015, GTRB started as 3 high school friends in Massachusetts who wanted to take their musical collaborations to the next level. A thriving first year of open mics, bar gigs, and private parties with nobody in the bass seat was motivation to reshape the group and take things more seriously. 2016 saw the addition of Ned Brady on the bass, which sparked a four-track EP and a quick splash into markets beyond Southeast MA. Their first full-length tour in Summer 2019 spanned 20 dates throughout all of New England and into NYC, NJ, and Virginia. The fresh GTRB lineup is now five members strong & regularly performing and touring throughout the Eastern USA with shows from Maine to Macon to Key West. They stand out on festival lineups in their own right, while feeling fortunate to have shared bills with artists such as Ripe, Kung Fu, Eggy, and West End Blend, as well as Larry Keel, The Claypool Lennon Delirium, Adam Ezra Group, Strange Machines, and more.
