The Giving Tree Band Touring, Appearing On Neglected Animal Benefit CD And Working On New Record

The Giving Tree Band have spend a lot of time out on the road since the release of their third record, The Joke, The Threat & The Obvious.  Shockingly enough they will spend the summer and fall on tour as well.

They are also working on a fourth record in their home studio. The record should be finished before the end of the year and out in 2012.

Another notable thing about the band is their veganism and support for animals. They are sober. They make their instruments from naturally fallen trees (ok, so those are part of an ecosystem too..but still better than cutting a live tree down) and other eco-friendly things. Apropos of their ethical nature the band will be featured on the benefit compilation, Home On The Range.

That compilation will feature other vegetarian and vegan artists including Chrissie Hynde, Yoko Ono, Moby and Matisyahu. It comes out in September and you can find out more HERE.
