Treebeard play "Heavy Wood" a mix of folk, rock & pop; traditional, contemporary & original songs & tunes on a range of acoustic instruments
The band play original compositions as well as a selection of rock, pop, folk (& even country!) songs & tunes on a variety of acoustic instruments, including “The Ace of Spades” on fiddle & accordion, and Russian & Croatian tunes on balalaika.
They are regulars on the beer festival circuit, playing Sheffield, Derby, Tamworth, Newark, Stockport, Lincoln, Stoke & Barnsley festivals, as well as performing at Earls Court for the Great British Beer Festival, and at the Cropredy fringe in 2008.
The band were also featured on the Cropredy special cover disc of Rock’n’Reel (R2) magazine in the summer of 2009 with the track “Fallen Leaves”.
They describe their style as 'Heavy Wood', and released their second CD 'Reel Ale’ on Gabadon Records in April 2010. Their track ‘Train’ is also featured on the ‘Forged in Sheffield’ folk compilation CD, and video for “Over The Hills” has won the runner up prize in the 2 weeks 2 make it filmmaking competition 2011.
