Brotherhood of Trees and Mike Errico Chorale in Concert and Conversation

7:30 pm - 9:30 pm

Songwriting duo Jay Livingston and Danny-O planted the Brotherhood of Trees in 2014 on a cold winter night in a rural Maryland studio under the watchful gaze of a giant pine grove.

The following years harvested a catalog of music rooted firmly in Americana, Country, Rock, and Folk. On a lark, Jay and Danny connected with R.E.M. and Widespread Panic producer John Keane. Over the next four years the lyrics and melodies of the Brotherhood germinated into a fresh new Americana Roots sound.
