October Tree
Welcome

Welcome to the home of October Tree! We are a progressive rock band on the Canvas Productions label, headed by Greg and Tammy Lounsberry. We have just released our debut album entitled "The Fairy's Wing". The Fairy's Wing is a dark fairy tale. It can be read on the Read The Story page, or purchased for kindle at Amazon.com. We are proud to have licensed artwork from the amazing Linda Ravenscroft lindaravenscroft.com for our album cover, and hats off to Mark Hershberger for the cool logo design! Mark has designed a great CD package for us as well.

The CD is being mastered by Frankford Wayne in New York City, and the proofs should arrive Monday.  The art proofs should arrive later this evening.  We expect to have CDs in hand a week from now. Keep your fingers crossed!

Due to a minor glitch, Matt has decided to re mix the album. The good news is, he is finished and the mixes are on their way to me for mastering. I saw the CD package design today. Mark Hershberger has done a killer job!

We are roughly two weeks out from a release date! Cross your fingers.....To celebrate I've added new tracks to the sitewide media player at the bottom of the page. In addition to an updated version of The Fairy's Wing, you can now listen to Howl and Dark Carnival.

I hope you all love this album as much as we do. The driving force behind the music is this wonderful story that we hope you come to love as well. We have made every effort to deliver the highest quality product that we were capable of. In the end, you will be the judge.

I'm still blown away by the season Finale of The Walking Dead! I wonder if there is a musical idea in there somewhere? Hmmm....

March 24, 2012

The album is finished! Matt delivered the final 2496 wave files by mail. I mastered the CD in Wavelab, and it is ready for replication. Mark Hershberger is working on the package design (with Linda Ravenscroft's cover painting) for a CD Digipak release for Canvas Productions.  Stay tuned!

The mixdown is progressing well, and we will soon be shifting our attention to the new Canvas album!

"The Fairy's Wing" E-Book is now available at Amazon.com for both the kindle, and free kindle reader. This is a Novelette by Greg Lounsberry that tells the story in finer detail. It makes a good read on it's own, but makes an excellent companion to the music for a more immersive experience. It is well worth the $3.99 asking price.

The song, "The Fairy's Wing" was included in Matt Sweitzer's radio program, The Canvas Prog Hour, CPH number 343. If you missed it, press the play button at the bottom of this page.
