"The coolest vocal blend since the Everly Brothers." Tom Kimmel

Joe & Tree Brunelle, a husband and wife duo, are the living embodiment of the phrase, "making beautiful music together". For the last decade they have been doing just that. From the campfires of Kerrville to the most respected halls, clubs, festivals, house concerts and listening rooms around the country, Joe & Tree have thrilled audiences with their insightful songs and flawless vocals.

"They have that 6th sense performing couples develop. Harmonies and phrasing interweave, dance-like." Crow Johnson

"A blend of groove and harmony that's as good as it gets." Michael Lille

The story of Joe & Tree simply comes down to love at first listen. Theresa heard Joseph's debut release Round To It, and knew she needed to see him perform live. A friendship developed and soon they were trading songs and harmonies. The blend was instant and natural. They married and have spent the last fourteen years in perpetual motion, writing, recording and touring. As a duo, and with their band No Strangers, they have released seven albums.

"Great grooves, great traveling music! Joseph writes wonderful songs and Theresa has the voice of an angel."
Betty Elders

Sharing stages with the likes of Bruce Hornsby, Guy Clark, David Wilcox and Steve Earle, they have continued to grow and evolve as artists and performers. After a two year stay in Nashville, learning and growing professionally, the duo is once again making their home in the Hill Country near Austin, Texas.

Whether they're in a crowded room at the South By Southwest festival in Austin or the quiet of the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville, award-winning songwriters Joe & Tree consistently deliver a show that is both intense and friendly, musically polished but still human and accessible.

"Combining lissome harmonies, vividly-rendered and finely-honed material, and first rate musicianship, the Brunelles have crafted a sound that is both distinctively original and hauntingly evocative." John T. Davis

"What a great sound !" Loren Rowan


Joe Brunelle is endorsed by ELIXIR Guitar Strings from Gore.
