Tops of Trees
Funky, Soulful… Fresh
An original Rock & Soul ensemble hailing from upstate New York quickly making a name for themselves in the Capital Region. With a sound built upon a strong foundation of drum and bass, classic organ, blistering vocals, and an unshakeable horn section, the band continues to thrill audiences with high energy performances and a modern interpretation of soulful music steeped in early R&B, funk and blues.
Releasing their inaugural EP, “The Tree House Sessions,” in 2023, Tops of Trees hit the airwaves with WEXT, WEQX, and Unsigned 518. Their compelling songwriting resonated deeply with listeners, securing two songs in the top ten on the WEXT local songs of the year for 2025, also earning them consecutive Capital Region Thomas Edison Award nominations (The Eddie’s) for “Jam Band of The Year”.
Since then, the band has continued to climb releasing their first full album Do Something in December of 2025 while opening for Blues Traveler, Joan Osborne, the Robert Randolph Band, The New Master Sounds and Ben Folds, while also being featured on WMHT’s PBS show AHA!. Tops of Trees has showcased their electrifying performances at venues like Universal Preservation Hall, Lark Hall, Putnam Place, Saratoga Springs New Year’s Eve Festival, WEXT Festival at Music Haven and Lake George Summer Concert Series.
Climb up to the highest branch to enjoy the view.
