Organica, the debut full-length album by Charlottesville, Virginia’s Trees On Fire, takes listeners from the heights of the ancient Blue Ridge Mountains to the buzzing swamps and bayous of the bottom-land. Formed in 2005 amidst these ancient hills, Trees On Fire has developed a varied sound that includes reggae, rock, electronic, klezmer, and funk and the band counts Radiohead, The Beatles, Bob Marley, Bach, and Miles Davis among its influences.

Organica was produced by Rob Evans (Dave Matthews Band, Tim Reynolds Trio) and Eric Heigle and recorded at Haunted Hollow Studios and Dockside Studios (BB King, Taj Mahal, Dr. John, Mark Knopfler, Leon Russell, Sonny Landreth.) The exciting original music captured on the album is only a part of the legacy the group hopes to leave behind as Trees On Fire's members are all deeply embedded in environmental preservation activities.

The commitment of the members of Trees On Fire -- Justin Esposito (keys, violin, accordion, guitar, vocals), Rob Mezzanotte (guitar, sax, keys, vocals), Brian Wahl (bass), Paul Rosner (drums, vocals), and Blake Hunter (guitar, vocals) -- to achieving sustainable practices in our society and Trees On Fire’s ability to bring people together via song and environmental activism is unmatched. As one enthusiastic listener put it, "y'all are culturized!" It’s no wonder these guys eat habanera peppers to get jacked up for a show.
