Voices in the Trees
The earliest stages of what would become the band Voices in the Trees first developed in December of 2007, when bassist Gary Brown began writing songs with singer/guitarist Seth Richardson. Gary and Seth spent several months practicing together as they worked on writing original material and honing their distinct folk sound. In the fall of 2008, they began performing their rapidly growing repertoire at open mic shows around Birmingham. The open mic shows were a good outlet for attracting the first seeds of their dedicated fan-base, but Gary and Seth soon found the urge to broaden their musical scope beyond the acoustic-electric folk duo.
In early 2009, Gary found the extra element they were seeking in coworker Mollie Harrison, an experienced violist and electric violinist. After a single practice together it was clear that Mollie\'s unique lead melodies were the perfect compliment to Seth\'s rhythmic guitar and soaring vocals. All that they lacked to complete the full sound of the band was a drummer, and in this search the addition of Mollie also proved fortunate. At the next practice they were joined by Mollie\'s husband and guitarist-turned-drummer Patrick Harrison, whose rock roots provided the band with lively beats and a more folk-rock sound. The band settled on the name Dog Tree Party and continued performing open mic sets with Patrick backing Seth on guitar while they polished their full sound at home.
Dog Tree Party performed their first short set with a full band in June 2009 and the audience welcomed them onto the scene enthusiastically. Seth had already entertained the idea of handing off guitar responsibilities to allow himself more freedom at the microphone, so Patrick invited long time friend Bradford Sims to listen that evening. Brad was excited by what he heard, so they auditioned him into the band as their new guitarist. Having Brad in the lineup allowed Seth to concentrate on nailing his challenging vocals and Brad was free to add finesse and flourish to the guitar parts. With the final facet of their eclectic folk-rock sound in place, the band dropped the name Dog Tree Party in favor of a more serious title: Voices in the Trees.
With the members finalized, Voices in the Trees began writing new songs together to add to the preexisting catalog. Since then, they have been busy establishing themselves as a hard working band with serious drive, playing shows around Birmingham lasting anywhere from thirty minutes to four hour marathon sets.
