Greasy Tree started as a blues infused power group with excess hair and even more attitude. With the help of Pete Matthews (Evanescence, Devon Allman, and Paul Simon) and Toby Vest of High/Low Recording Studios out of Memphis, TN, their freshman album has a raw, unfiltered sound that reminds us of the greats. Cameron Roberts’ scorching guitar riffs/vocals, dynamic beats/vocals from drummer Creed Slater, Josh Copeland’s southern rock riffs, powerful harmonies from Caitlyn Grey Finley, and gritty bass tones/vocals from Red Dorton create a chemical reaction of Rock and Soul that is bound to take you back to your roots. The band’s freshman, self-titled album released in February 2017 scored an International Tour with Teenage Head Music through Spain, France, Germany, Sweden.
Back to the studio immediately after the tour with fresh inspiration, the band pumped out album number two, See The Light. The new bluesy, southern rock album rocked the scene in 2020, however with the global pandemic on the rise, the band was forced into hiatus without finishing the tour on the new album. Even with a rocky few years for the music scene, the band was still able to pull out several major events including private shows in Arkansas, Tennessee, and Colorado.
Back in the studio for album number three, the band is fired up and ready to assume their spot in the rising southern rock scene.
The band itself might be dripping with fresh grease, but these artists are well seasoned. The trio met through other local projects and eventually joined forces on a European tour in 2015 with Teenage Head Music. Their dynamic was undeniable and they quickly turned their attention towards their new project, Greasy Tree. Between the five musicians, there are 3 European tours under their belts and individually they have shared the stage with Shinedown, Charlie Daniels, Saliva, Jimbo Mathis, and many more. With work history involving A&R Firm, Big Noise, LLC, Red Wax Music, LLC, and Games Productions, Inc., the band’s past projects have been licensed for use in 3 movies, and in several top shows including Big Bang Theory and Justified. The band has already received radio play on Triple FM and KISS FM, being dubbed as Jonesboro, AR’s next world success. They were also invited to perform in the Downtown Jonesboro BBQ Fest in October 2019 which hosted over 10,000 visitors and artists such as Bret Michaels and The Brothers Osborne. Greasy Tree is primed for success and excited to break into new markets. The only question is whether or not the universe can handle getting greasy!
