Dark Green Tree

Dark Green Tree is a Scottish alternative folk and UK Americana project formed in Edinburgh by singer-songwriters Ross Cockburn and Jay Brown. Characterized by intimate acoustic arrangements, rich vocal harmonies, and a distinctly cinematic, nocturnal atmosphere, the group blends traditional Celtic folk sensibilities with roots-driven American country rock. The project was born out of a chance meeting between Cockburn and Brown during local acoustic sessions in Edinburgh. Their creative chemistry solidified at a songwriting workshop in Perthshire, Scotland, led by acclaimed English singer-songwriter and producer Boo Hewerdine.Musically, Dark Green Tree positions itself at the intersection of classic 1970s West Coast Americana and modern indie-folk. Critics and listeners frequently compare their melancholic melodies, fingerpicked guitars, and haunting vocal deliveries.
