English folk rock band that existed between 1969 and 1972. The five of them began rehearsing in the early spring of 1969, starting to do their first gigs and early demo tracks throughout June and July of the same year. Subsequently they were recording and touring throughout 1969, 1970 and 1971, reforming briefly to continue performing throughout 1972. Signed to CBS in August 1969, Trees produced two studio albums in relatively quick succession, The Garden Of Jane Delawney (released April 1970) and On The Shore (released January 1971), both recorded at Chelsea's Sound Techniques studios, and both produced by Tony Cox. On The Shore featured cover artwork by Storm Thorgerson of the Hipgnosis studio. Like other folk contemporaries, Trees was compared with Fairport Convention, but regarded as delivering with a more psychedelic edge. The group's material was divided between adaptations of traditional songs and original compositions, primarily by Bias Boshell. Original members Costa and Boshell performed together as the On The Shore Band in 2018.
