For brothers Todd and Eric Fink of The Giving Tree Band, there is no distinction between playing music and just plain living. Their bodies and instruments become a singularity that is just trying to get in tune, stay in tune, and add a little harmony to the grand symphony of life. Descending from legendary folk hero Mike Fink and Spanish conquistador Hernando de Soto on their mother's side, the Finks have extended their brotherhood into an epic collective known as The Giving Tree Band. A band's band, the Brothers Fink and company live, work, and tour the country together - keeping tune with nature, sleeping under the stars, bathing in rivers, and treating time as the only real currency. Though the story of The Giving Tree Band is still being written, it can already be said that these musical frontiersmen are redefining “virtuosity,” which is traditionally understood as dizzying displays of technical wizardry. But what is missing from this definition is the root word - Virtue. And it is upon this foundation of Virtue that The Giving Tree Band weaves their musical tapestry - by playing every note with integrity, every part with humility, every song with honesty, and every show with gratitude.
New Old Cavalry
The New Old Cavalry offers today's concert-goer an opportunity to take two steps back into the past and one large step into the future. We seek to turn every stage we play on into an event where sounds of varying backgrounds can intermingle and transform into a heart-felt, and unapologetically dynamic mash-up of hard-driving bluegrass, gospel-inspired harmonies, and psychedelic looseness. Its New, Its Old, its the Cavalry and we intend to take your foot-stompin' and whiskey swiggin' past the astral zone!
In a few short months, The New Old Cavalry has grown from a close-knit group of porch-jam regulars to rubbing elbows with bluegrass heavy-weights like Hot Buttered Rum, Cornmeal, Greensky Bluegrass, The Infamous Stringdusters, Devil's Train, Bonepony, and more. We've recorded an EP and keep churning out original numbers, an anticipate our first full length album by the end of 1/2010.
Our music extends no further then all of the support we've received from our friends and rapidly growing family. We would not be here if it were not for all of you who open your homes to bluegrass jams at all hours of the night, amateur photographers, word-of-mouth promoters,street team, and all those who spread the word to friends.
If you've sat on a porch with us, you are part of the Cavalry too! If you've got an instrument, please play along. If you've got a song you want to sing, call the tune! If you want a party, we'd love to play at it.
