Every once in a while, a band comes along that restores your faith in the future of popular music. That band needs to get you to bob your head, shake your hips, and close your eyes and take you to that escape from the stresses of your day. Fat Tree is such a band. Originally formed in their home town of Alamogordo, New Mexico, Fat Tree combines rock, funk, jazz, and soul to create a completely original sound. Their pop savvy songs are laden with a heart and talent deeper than the fabricated sounds that are making people wish for a revolution. While still giving the audience a catchy tune to sing along to, Fat Tree forces an audience to recognize the energy and power that music is supposed to have. Their inherent chemistry on stage is borne from their upbringing. Kyle, Eric, and Samuel Jacobs are brothers and Sam Bischof is in that same standing as he has known them for well over a decade. Their virtuosity on their instruments is evident as soon as you hear them play. Kyle has created a style of piano playing that is singular to him. Laced with a jazzy improvisation, he has molded the art of playing from a combination of his love of rock and his propensity to something more intimate. His stage presence and energy will immediately catch your eye and entertain you for the whole night. Eric’s bass playing lays down a solid groove that fills the sound of this band to the brim of bliss. Just when you think that he has shown you all of his tricks, he will surprise you by throwing in the most beautiful melodies to make your ears beg for more. Samuel’s drumming is powerful and creative. He is not only an outstanding time keeper, but he treats his drums as an instrument, not just a metronome. His passion and creativity sing from the cadences and rhythm of his instrument. Sam’s guitar playing is saturated with style and originality. He plays only the notes he needs to accent the meaning and the spirit of the music itself. His rock influences put a grit and crunch to the band that will energize any venue played. With this band’s new sound and style combined with the familiar feel of the music America has created and loved, any audience will quickly be able to feel that something special is taking place. The journey of Fat Tree is just beginning, don’t be on the outside looking in.
