Banshee Tree (feat. Thom Lafond) w/ special guests Glass Pony.

According to 303 Magazine:

“What began as a traditional jazz band in Upstate New York has, in the past five years, slowly evolved into a pop-dance band with a heavy emphasis on modern jazz music. With a timeless sound that simultaneously relates to their roots while keeping things seriously fresh, jazz-pop foursome Banshee Tree gives their listeners all sorts of feel-good vibes. With the summer’s release of their self-titled debut album, Banshee Tree beautifully showcases a unique sort of music that brings something truly special to our local music scene.”

According to LiveForMusic:

“Banshee Tree is a band that has a sound as eclectic as its own members, spanning the dimensions of music in a brave new way. The quartet’s style is unique in how it crosses the boundaries of rock, punk, swing, and Django jazz—named after Belgium-born French guitarist Jean “Django” Reinhardt, who remains one of the most relevant European jazz guitarists of all time.

But Banshee Tree’s sound, as described by its members, can’t be pigeon-holed within the confines of the aforementioned genres.

“Django jazz influenced for sure, but we can crank it up to a higher tempo and turn it into dance music, kind of like Golgol Bordello,” said Michelle Pietrafitta (drums/vocals).”
