A peaceful tune


From the beautiful surrounds of Halls Gap where we nestled around a wood fire, my family and I began our journey to share our message of peace through music. 

In Halls Gap we attended our first open mike night. So many nerves but oh so much fun! Since then we have met up often to jam together. Michael on vocals and guitar, Chris on harp and myself vocals and tambourine. 

Together we made the decision to form a band and The Peace Tree Trio was born. At the moment, we sing covers of some of our favourite bands while we work on lyrics for our own songs. 

Just last Friday, we performed for the first time as The Peace Tree Trio at a lovely school fete fundraiser. Friends of ours lost their home, shop supplies and band equipment in a house fire. This was just one of the ways the community has been showing their support for the beautiful Cooper family. We were more than happy to provide music while children climbed trees, parents sipped delicious chai and quaint little stalls were set up around the school (not to mention gorgeous goats in a nearby field that came close to say hello). 

The Peace Tree Trio aim to spread the message of peace, love and family through our songs. We also hope to raise awareness of social justice issues through the songs we have started to write. Through busking, all funds raised will be donated to a cause we believe in reinforcing what The Peace Tree Trio is all about because together, we believe we can make a difference in our world.

So if you see us playing around Geelong, please come over, say hello and listen awhile. We promise to play a peaceful tune.
