Night Trees Houses in the night Through bitter and burning waters, Smoke and desperate stillness Flooding into me and out of me Knives and shining stars collide, and you, Different versions of you with me, Is a silent scream to the night trees In their still patience – Sunniva Brynnel

Thanksgiving Crossing the seas in search of my dreams Leaving the country of my home Searching for love and music to share Waiting for answers to unfold Starting again in places unknown Learning the patterns of my soul Building a house of longing and hope Seeing a light when there is none And life keeps on giving A million stars and a million tears— Love keeps on lifting me up again Friendships I’ve found across the wide world All of them different yet the same Spirits unite, separate no more Infinite beings with no name And life keeps on giving A million stars and a million tears— Love keeps on lifting us up again – Sunniva Brynnel

about

As acoustic sextet Night Tree approaches their one year anniversary, Brian O’Donovan, Senior DJ at Boston’s own radio station, WGBH, calls them “One of the most exciting roots-based music groups to emerge from the New England Conservatory in many years. Their individual chops and adventurous approach make Night Tree a band to watch for.”

In September of 2016, six wildly diverse musicians came together unexpectedly within the walls of Boston’s New England Conservatory to form New Acoustic band, Night Tree. The group, all students at NEC, were named the Conservatory’s WildCard Honors Ensemble for 2016-2017. Awards for this title included a sponsorship from NEC, a headlining performance at the historic Jordan Hall, and a year of working with Winifred Horan, fiddler and co-founder of Irish super-band, SOLAS. Night Tree will be releasing their debut album on September 1st of this year, produced by Séamus Egan, another founding member of SOLAS.

These six conservatory-trained musicians have absorbed genres from across the globe. Night Tree is unique, not only for it’s abnormal instrumentation of two fiddles, cello, accordion, saxophone, percussion, and the occasional viola and mandolin, but for their collective representation and incorporation of traditions from Irish, Classical, Swedish, Jazz, Klezmer, and Afro-Cuban music. Each artist’s personality is given a spot to emerge with fiery improvisation, individual compositions, and a pristine ear. The band thrives on playing in darkness as to allow themselves the opportunity to solely listen with the absence of any possible visual distractions. They react to each other at any given time, in a matter of seconds. They have learned to get inside each other’s musical minds, creating one blossoming and unpredictable wave of sound that is Night Tree.

“I’m thrilled to have been part of this brilliant young band’s debut album. They play with such spark and musicality. Thoughtful compositions, precise, inventive arrangements. An absolute joy. Go hear them!”
- Séamus Egan, founding member of SOLAS and Night Tree producer
