Tall Tall Trees tours with Kishi Bashi and WHY? now; headline dates for Sep/Oct announced
08-05-2017To say that Mike Savino is an innovator would be an understatement. Touring under the moniker Tall Tall Trees, the banjo-wielding bard has reshaped the landscape of what is possible with the instrument. On stage and in studio, Savino breaks down the banjo into its most basic iteration, reminding audiences that the banjo is, at root, a drum. Coupled with his mastery of electronic effects, loops, toy ray guns, and heaps of spontaneous creativity.
Tall Tall Trees will be touring in support of Kishi Bashi and WHY? in May and June accompanied with some solo shows as well. Find all dates at the bottom of this message. After this tour he'll be back in September/October for a full headline tour.
His latest album Freedays is, in a way, his debut album. Having recorded two previous albums in a traditional collaborative band setting, Freedays is the first album Savino wrote and recorded as a solo project. Just presented is the brand new video for the song SeagullxEagle, hand painted and animated by his friends Mike and Julia McCoy.The song and video are inspired by one of my favorite books, Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach.
