About this event

An original Rock & Soul ensemble hailing from Upstate New York, Tops of Trees is quickly making a name for themselves in the Capital Region. With a sound built on a strong foundation of drums and bass, classic organ, blistering vocals, and an unshakable horn section, the band continues to thrill audiences with high-energy performances and a modern interpretation of soulful music steeped in early R&B, funk, and soul.

Releasing their debut EP, “The Tree House Sessions,” in 2023, Tops of Trees hit the airwaves on WEXT, WEQX, and Unsigned 518, resonating deeply with listeners—earning a spot on WEXT’s Local Songs of the Year list and consecutive Capital Region Thomas Edison Award nominations (The Eddies) for “Jam Band of the Year.”

Since then, the band has continued to climb, opening for Blues Traveler, Joan Osborne, and Ben Folds, and appearing on WMHT’s PBS show “AHA!.” They’ve electrified audiences at venues like Cohoes Music Hall, Putnam Place, Jive Hive Live, and the Saratoga Springs New Year’s Eve Festival. Along the way, they’ve shared the stage with Robert Randolph Band, Sqwerv, the Suke Cerulo Band, and The Pat McGee Band.
