Wiretree is an indie pop/indie rock project hailing from Austin, Texas. Founded by Kevin Peroni, Wiretree's music is built on a foundation of intimate, homemade recordings. While primarily a solo endeavor, the project has featured collaborations with other musicians, including Joshua Kaplan and Gregory White on guitar, Rachel Peroni on bass, Daniel Blanchard on drums and Daniel Jones, also on drums.
Peroni's music draws from a diverse range of influences, including British rock, indie, singer-songwriter traditions, and jazz, all filtered through a DIY aesthetic. This eclectic blend has earned Wiretree spots at notable festivals such as Loop Festival in Spain (2011) and China's Strawberry Festival (2013).
