seeTrees – 6 p.m., RMU Truckee, 10292 Donner Pass Rd. seeTrees was formed in 2024 when hit songwriter, Drew Lawrence, connected with LA based drummer and producer, Luke Adams. Drawing inspiration from artists like Tom Petty, The War on Drugs, and Wilco, the project has a throwback feeling with a modern sense of renewal. The debut album “Greater than the Past” produced by Adams, is a journey through textures of analogue synthesizers, pulsing rhythm tracks and ethereal guitars. This common thread unites the influences of folk, indie, arena rock and mellow singer-songwriter. Lawrence’s storytelling is emboldened with honest, imagery laced lyrics that yearn for new beginnings and easy times.
