Remedy Tree
Combining old-time traditional bluegrass and Americana with modern tunes.
Local band, Remedy Tree, is a unique Americana/bluegrass band that genuinely captures an old-time Appalachian spirit. Lead vocalist, Gabriel Acevedo, started writing songs at a young age. With his brother, he formed several bluegrass bands between 2008 and 2014. In the summer of 2015, Gabriel Acevedo and his wife Abigail, formed Remedy Tree.
With a strong indie folk sound initially, Remedy Tree changed its style into a solid bluegrass band by simply picking up a banjo player. This has led to their energetic songs, intertwining roots, Americana, bluegrass, and old-time music. Over time, the band's sound has grown as they keep producing original content influenced by contemporary and traditional artists such as Old Crow Medicine Show, Mandolin Orange, and The Avett Brothers.
The band has shared stages with Ricky Skaggs, The Steeldrivers, Willi Carlisle, Rhonda Vincent, Peter Rowan, and others, at festivals, as well as at intimate venues. They have been named an International Bluegrass Music Association Ramble Showcase Artist 2023, and were second place winner at the Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music in America Band Competition 2025.
Acevedo says, "Our vision for Remedy Tree is not only to provide people with quality entertainment and a good time, but through that moment we wish that they may find a remedy for their sorrows… A remedy for a chronic sad heart and a feeble mind."
