A pulse rising from the ground, a voice carried through fire and rain, with “The Land Still Speaks”, Half Tree delivers a musical prayer woven with organic rhythms and ancient echoes. Travis Styles’ soulful, powerful vocals give life to the words “The land still speaks, through the fire, through the rain. In every tree, in every drop of pain”, as if nature itself were singing. Surrounded by Shane V, Jimmy Roca, Seth Nayle, Rusty Nygaard, JP Taylor and Ed Wilczynski, the band builds an organic bridge between sound and soil. The video, shot deep in nature, captures this elemental connection with spiritual intensity. Presented by Slash Music, the track feels like an ancient breath still echoing within us.
“The land still speaks, through the fire, through the rain. In every tree, in every drop of pain” Half Tree
A free and unbound identity
From the historic halls of Boston to the sun-drenched shores of Myrtle Beach, Half Tree carries a distinctive flavor to modern reggae. Born from a journey that began in the Northeast and evolved in South Carolina’s low country, the project blends coastal soul with raw energy, crafting a sound that feels both timeless and alive. Moving fluidly between reggae, soul, pop, and rock, Half Tree embodies freedom as a defining force — shifting from the calm of the ocean breeze to the pulse of the stage. Each performance is a living dialogue between rhythm and emotion, grounded in honesty and spirit. What sets Half Tree apart is this rare ability to be both rooted and boundless, introspective yet explosive — music that transcends genres and speaks straight to the soul.
“Too Salty”: a long-awaited return
After six years, Half Tree is back with “Too Salty”, a 16-track album released on September 27, 2025. Featuring Travis Styles from Jamaica, the record unfolds like a journey across shifting landscapes, warm, powerful, and deeply human. Every song carries traces of salt, sea, and wind, forming a soundscape that feels alive and untamed. With a spring tour soon to be announced, one thing is certain: Half Tree still knows how to make the earth speak.
