The Return of The Tree People

Lyrics, drawings, photos, sheet music, and thoughts about The Tree People and their return. The folk group, The Tree People, began with a recording that took place over a single weekend in 1979 at Rockin' A Ranch, a studio in the woods near Eugene, Oregon, with musicians Stephen Cohen, Jeff Stier, Rachel Laderman and James Thornbury. 1,000 vinyl records were pressed, and the self-titled album was released locally. Fast forward to one weekend in 2021 and The Return of the Tree People album was recorded at Dead Aunt Thelma's Studio in Portland, Oregon, with musicians Stephen Cohen, Rich Hinrichsen, Maeve Stier (daughter of the late Jeff Stier), John Savage, Jen Harrison and Ron Tuttle. The subsequent album and this book were released in 2022.
