Winter Tree Winter Tree

2011, The Winter Tree, (formerly Magus) is a band formed by composer/multi-instrumentalist Andrew Laitres, (a.k.a. Andrew Robinson) with vocalist/guitarist Mark Bond and his wife Deb Bond on keyboards. Andrew was inspired to create his own epics after visiting a New York City Yes fan convention in 1994. The self-titled debut by The Winter Tree is a synthesis of many different musical styles and genres: rock, folk, electronic, ambient, and world music among others. These elements combine to create a fascinating and cohesive work that should satisfy the progrock enthusiast as well as a diverse listening public.
