Blowing Trees Debut

03/14/2008
. (PR) San Antonio's Blowing Trees is scheduled to release their national self-titled debut on Glassnote Records March 18th, 2008. Discovered on Myspace by Glassnote A&R Executive Diane Passage, Blowing Trees signed with the label in early 2007. The yet to be released and highly anticipated indie-rock debut was recorded at San Antonio's Melody Ranch Studio under the direction of platinum producer Dave Castell (Blue October's Foiled and South FM).

Blowing Trees, comprised of lifelong friends Chris Maddin (vocals, keys, guitar), Edwin Stephens (lead guitar), Drew Pierce (drums), and bassist Roy Scavone, collectively possess a strong conviction in the belief that anything of lasting value needs a strong foundation from which to build. Rather than setting their focus on extensive touring, Blowing Trees chose to remain close to their Central Texas base allowing the band to fully concentrate on honing their distinctive sound as well as developing an intense live performance and dedicated local following. With influences ranging from The Flaming Lips to Bob Dylan, San Antonio's hidden gem has also managed to find that rare delicate balance of intelligent lyricism and an explosive sound.

With the CD release date falling smack on the heels of this year's South by Southwest Music Conference, the festival provides a fitting landscape for the San Antonio indie-rockers to preview their material and introduce themselves to the world.

Both badge holders and the general public alike will have the opportunity to experience Blowing Trees live as they will be performing at two of the festival's highlighted showcases that week.

Blowing Trees will perform live and can be seen by all at The Tiniest Bar in Texas on Friday, March 14th at 6:00 p.m. during the CD Fuse Showcase. Following that, they take the stage at 8pm on Saturday March 15th for the much anticipated Official South by Southwest Pure Volume Showcase held at The Habana Annex Backyard on 6th Street. Topping off the furious frenzy of this year's festival, Blowing Trees has been chosen as a Featured Emerging Artist in the Dr. Pepper's/ Wendy's SXSW Sweepstakes promotion.
