Scattered Trees was an American indie rock band from Chicago, Illinois. The band was on the Roll Call/EMI label before their breakup in 2012.
Scattered Trees began as a solo project for frontman Nate Eiesland, who moved from Brainerd, MN to Chicago in 2003 and began writing one song a month, each titled for the month it was written in.
Upon moving to Chicago, Nate and his now-wife Alissa [1] met brothers Jason and Baron Harper as well as Ryne Estwing and Justin Eisenbraun [2] whilst performing in the same Chicago suburb venues. The band released their debut album, Song For My Grandfather, in 2006. [3] In 2007, they released their Heart of Glass EP through 4AM Records.
The band separated between 2007 and 2009, reforming after Eiesland's father's death, and he began writing songs again. [4]
On August 19, 2012, it was announced that the Harper brothers were leaving the band. With scheduled studio recordings in the near future, the remaining members agreed to form a new band entitled ON AN ON. The final concerts were performed as Scattered Trees, though without Jason and Baron Harper.
