TreeHouse! W/ Rockstead and Austin Grimm

If Pink Floyd jammed with Bob Marley & The Wailers , their sound might come close to TreeHouse! Between the Caribbean Sea and California coastline borne a cornucopia of vibes in the form of TreeHouse! Hailing from the beaches of the Carolinas with an engagingly positive message and energetic live show, this artist chants conscious awareness through bouncing hooks and singable melodies that have contributed heavily to the American Reggae genre, jam scene, festival circuits, healing communities, and beyond. Having supported musical legends like 311 , Stick Figure, Dirty Heads, SOJA, Matisyahu , Michael Franti, Steel Pulse, Mike Love, Wookiefoot, The Wailers and more over the last decade, TreeHouse! has developed a modest cult following, with over 7 million streams across platforms, and listeners reporting significant, life-changing therapeutic improvements through catharsis directly attributed to the TreeHouse! experience, attesting that this music resonates deeply in its ancient sacred power to heal hearts and minds.

 

With roots leading as far back as middle school, Rockstead combines a lifetime full of influences ranging from rock, punk, reggae, jam and metal. In their early days Rockstead ruled the college party scene in Ohio with a schedule full of impromptu house shows leading to packed basements of DIY venues and later, massive crowds attending college fests such as Ohio University’s infamous spring festivals. This early success catalyzed the band’s first recordings which included “Wake Up And Live” (album, 2013), “Rise” (EP, 2014) and “Homegrown” (album, 2016). These releases ignited their inner road warrior leading to a plethora of plays at music festivals and concert venues across the Midwest. Since then, Rockstead continues to widen their reach touring throughout the Eastern U.S. and down into Florida.

A lover of many styles of music and a true believer in the healing power of music, Austin Grimm 
has been writing and singing songs since the age of ten. He spent a decade as the leader of the 
band Roots of a Rebellion (or ROAR) based out of Nashville, TN who heavily toured the U.S. 
and released a #1 Billboard Reggae Album called “Shapes of a Soul” in 2019. Since the band’s 
hiatus, Austin has been pursuing other passions and developing as a teacher. Whether it’s 
private music lessons (guitar, ukulele, bass, piano and drums), outdoor education/conservation 
efforts, or teaching yoga, Austin is beyond blessed to be able to share his love for music, nature 
and mindfulness with people of all ages. Performing solo acoustic, as a duo with his wife Taylor, 
or with a full band of old ROAR friends, Austin emanates pure love and “joie de vivre” at his 
shows. Collaborating with others is where it’s at and it has been a pleasure creating music with 
old ROAR bandmate Marco Mar aka Mellodose as well as other friends in the scene: Cas 
Haley, The Elovators, Sun-Dried Vibes, TreeHouse!, Resinated, Chinese Connection Dub 
Embassy and many more to come. Austin is inspired and uplifted by his family, friends, and fans 
as he aims to inspire others to follow their bliss and work hard to lead a meaningful life!
