I remember the first time I saw Lost In The Trees. I was absolutely astounded that they actually had a tuba player in the band. My posting on facebook the next day went something like “Never in my life! I mean A TUBA PLAYER?!!?” Ok so that may sound somewhat naive but still – I was impressed. The second time I saw them perform was at Joe’s Pub. The sound at Joe’s Pub, in case you’ve never been, is exquisite. I could hear the harmonies, I could hear each and every instrument and instead of being struck by the fact there was a tuba player I was moved by the beauty of the music and the hauntingly dark lyrics. By the time Lost In The Trees came back to NYC for a third time I was, and am, a full-fledged supporter. Below are a few images from that third show at Mercury Lounge:
