"Release Radar"

Fort Vine's recent single "Key To Love" was featured recently in an add on Apple's Instagram page, but that's no coincidence. Apple has a history of having great taste in music and this is no exception. The vocal line soars over the percussive instrumentation and the chant like background vocals make this a truly unique song that taps into that visceral part of the human spirit. If this doesn't make you want to dance I don't know what will. - Popdust


"Feedbands Daily Dose"

"Fort Vine blends musical sophistication with unexpected twists, rich layering, catchy elements (without going pop), and some of the smoothest vocals around into a fully cohesive alt-art rock project".

"Making it in NY, According to 3 of the City's Best Unsigned Bands"

"Since their humble beginnings, the group’s sound has slowly evolved- from atmospheric folk, to Fleetwood Mac-ish pop and throughout the intervening years, the group has performed everywhere from Greenwich Village’s Rockwood Music Hall to Central Park’s Naumburg Bandshell."
-The New York Observer - New York Observer


"Shrine World Music Venue, NYC"

"Fort Vine is a phenomenal group of four musicians who write songs that are simultaneously catchy, yet ultra creative and perform them with full energy and flavor".

""One in the Same" Album Review"

"Bottom line here is I like Fort Vine a lot. As somebody who doesn’t listen to much indie music, I listened to Fort Vine’s album several times to get a sense of who they are. And I can totally say I thoroughly enjoyed going on their musical journey. Or coming up into their musical “tree fort”, if we’re going to look at it that way. I bet these guys throw a wicked tree fort party."

"Fort Vine – “Late at Night”"

New York City based Indie wunderkind Fort Vine just dropped their sophomore album, Stay Magical, and it’s already one of my favorites I’ve heard this year. This choice cut, “Late at Night”, hits you with a powerful, anthemic chorus and the rest of the track is wrapped in unique, soulful instrumentation, heavenly harmonies, and soothing lead vocals by frontman Trevor Tunison. It is late at night. And I do want to stay up. Listening to this album some more. - The Burning Ear


"Fort Vine "Late at Night""

Fort Vine hooked us big time with their mega catchy tune “Late At Night.” Performed and produced to perfection, the hook bops and grabs the listener. It is high-quality rock and roll with a pop vibe. Totally addictive and worth checking out…right now. - IndiePotPie

Bio

Fort Vine is an indie-folk-rock band named after a secret tree fort in Manhattan, built by songwriting front-couple, Trevor Tunison and Nyna Nelson. Their feel-good music embraces every audience with open arms as their strong harmonies resonate with meaningful poetry and happy grooves.

Fort Vine has been named one of NYC's best unsigned bands by the New York Observer. Their song, All Will Pass By was recently featured in Facebook Watch's trailer for their new series, Five Points. Their single, Key to Love, was featured in Origins: Transworld Snowboarding film and Apple's Solar Eclipse campaign on Instagram. Their first album, One in the Same, was voted to be pressed to vinyl by Feedbands' subscribers and distributed world-wide.

Fort Vine is currently touring the USA as a trio with lead guitarist and third-part-harmony vocalist, Kenny Johnson, in support of their second album, Stay Magical. They are living full-time in their beloved diy-converted sprinter van, Gypsee Bungalow, as they travel around the country.
