Joe & Tree

Brunelle

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

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 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 back No Strangers, the have released five albums.

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 year or two stay in Nashville 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.
