Artist description
Giving Tree creates music that defies the ability of most power trios. Led by singer/bassist Paul Painter's astonishingly strong and controlled vocals, the group's songs are driven by the rhythmic statements of drummer Mark Brawner, and fortified by loops and samples created live by guitarist Kyle Zamora. The result is NOT a mass of noise pummeled into audiences' ears, but rather a sound that floats and surrounds the listener. It is this inimitable sound that has enabled the group to progress rapidly. In one year alone, Giving Tree has found itself nominated in the "Best New Band" and "Best Adult Alternative" categories of the 1999 San Diego Music Awards. Giving Tree has been written about in the San Diego Reader as well as SLAMM Magazine, and has opened for national acts ranging from Chris Whitley to Superdrag; all without even as much as a demo tape. The end of 1999 finds Giving Tree making their first full-length release. The album "Static Line Jump" details the dreams and desires that are shared by many, while making note of a few of the obstacles along the way. It is the mixture of this common theme, unique to every individual, coupled with a distinctive sound, which allows Giving Tree to challenge the listener today, while leaving them to hum the song tomorrow. |
