Album Notes

One Tree Hill plays a unique blend of styles than can only be described as acoustic-driven Americana. They started out as a trio- acoustic guitar, fiddle and two vocals, and have since added a 2nd guitar (acoustic & electric), bass guitar (upright & electric), and drums (kit & hand) to their sound.

OTH began when songwriter Patrick Lloyd left the practice of law to pursue music. "There is no better place than words & music to share what life means to me," says Lloyd. "Music has a unique ability to cut to the chase & commune with us in compelling yet largely unknown ways." After playing solo for three years, Lloyd added a vocalist and fiddle to the mix, and eventually kept growing to their current configuration.

The songs continue to be shaped by Lloyd's hard-knocks journey - this thing we call life. Thus it has been said, "[OTH], your music was balm for the soul. I was particularly moved by the words in your music."

"We definitely see our music as an opportunity to talk about what matters most in life, but our faith is not a magic carpet ride that hovers above the daily grind," Lloyd says.

OTH's unique sound and willingness to speak forthrightly in their music makes for a refreshing experience.
