Ode to Trees

It is hard to describe the unique sound of Ode to Trees. Some label it as Indie Rock because of their original, distinctive and versatile sound that doesn't quite fit into more mainstream genres. Whatever it is - it captivates their audiences.

Chase, Matt, and Cole live in Allen, Texas. After several years of guitar lessons, Chase showed his commitment to becoming a serious musician by the time he entered middle school. Matt moved to Allen from Washington state before his 8th grade year, realizing his love for music and his strong desire to play the drums. Chase and Matt met each other during those middle school years, and began "jamming" soon afterwards. Their appreciation for all types of music bonded them and helped to shape their original style. Chase and Matt began playing in front of an audience as part of the worship team for their church. Cole, also showing a love for music at an early age, joined his brother and friend as the keyboard player and song writer. His thought-provoking lyrics have become some of Ode to Tree's signature songs. He not only contributes musically, but has been known to "break out" into something that goes way beyond dancing!

All three band members write, sing, and are natural entertainers. They recently were co-winners of the first competition the band has entered: Battle of the Bands regional contest at the Door. Julie Delaughter, of Polyphonic Spree, said this about Ode to Trees: "What they do is truly art. They have great taste in the music they choose to play".
