Burning Tree

Burning Tree were a three piece rock group active between 1987-1991, featuring Marc Ford on guitar and vocals, Doni Gray on drums and Mark “Muddy” Dutton on bass. The band released one self-titled album in 1990 and toured fairly extensively in support of it, including an opening slot with The Black Crowes. The band would record demos for a second record, but plans for that release were shelved as Ford opted to fill the open lead guitar slot with The Black Crowes upon the dismissal of their original lead guitarist, Jeff Cease. Gray and Dutton would pursue various solo projects following the demise of Burning Tree.

The three members of the band would reconvene in late 2006 for a handful of shows in the Los Angeles, CA area and to record Ford’s 2007 solo album, Weary and Wired. Dutton would stick with Ford for the album’s support tour and lent his bass guitar work to the album’s follow-up, Fuzz Machine (recorded in 2008 but not released until late 2010). Since that time, the members of Burning Tree have pursued separate musical endeavors.
