Lost in the Trees to perform live on NPR Friday

Revolutionary orchestral folk rock ensemble Lost In The Trees will be performing songs from their acclaimed new album All Alone In An Empty House on NPR's Mountain Stage for broadcast November 12th. Led by talented composer and songwriter Ari Picker, Lost In The Trees merges the symphonic elements of classical music with the accessibility and heart of American folk and modern pop, creating a sound which is both intimate and breathtaking. Their recent album All Alone In An Empty House has been celebrated by both fans and critics, with Variety Magazine calling it "...an extremely striking debut" and NPR Music's Bob Boilen heralding the record as "My surprise album of the year. In just one listen I knew I'd found a new friend. This is mighty potent stuff."

Along with Lost In The Trees, recent episodes have featured The Hold Steady, Jenny Lewis, Alejandro Escovedo and Dawes.
