As a selected 2023 IBMA Ramble Showcase band, they have demonstrated their prowess within the industry. With a new album and larger shows on the horizon, Remedy Tree is poised for a breakout year in 2025. Get ready to join the journey with this rising Americana sensation.
Remedy Tree, founded by Gabriel and Abigail Acevedo in 2015, in its inception had a strong indie-folk sound. As time progressed Remedy Tree added a banjo player and were subsequently thrust into a bluegrass trajectory. Gabriel Acevedo was born in Bayamon Puerto Rico and was raised in rural Umatilla Florida. His Puerto Rican heritage and upbringing provides an outsider’s approach to the genre. Abigail was raised in folk and old-time music circles and traveled with her family band throughout her teen years.
An original music band at heart, Remedy Tree combines the love for bluegrass, an Appalachian old-time spirit, and the folk melodies that started it all, creating a truly unique Americana experience that provides a fresh perspective into where bluegrass is headed in the future. Remedy Tree recently welcomed Isaac Taylor (banjo) and Nathan Beaumont (mandolin) into the band, some of the region’s best players, further blossoming the Remedy Tree sound.
