The Walking Trees formed in Nashville in 2009. Their debut album 'Southside Alive!' came out in 2012, with the title track becoming their breakout hit. The band's core lineup has included Scott Southworth on lead vocals and guitar, Kyle Meadows on harmony vocals and guitar, Dave Johnson on bass, and Tyler Ramsey on drums.
Their sound carries a Southern twang and draws from artists like Bob Dylan, The Band, and John Prine. They followed 'Southside Alive!' with albums including 'All Them Pretty Lights' in 2014, 'Everybody Needs a Friend Sometimes' in 2016, 'Wilderness' in 2019, and 'This Land Is Not Your Land' in 2021.
In 2015, the band faced plagiarism accusations that were eventually dismissed. Their 2021 song 'This Land Is Not Your Land' criticized Trump administration policies and sparked debate among listeners.
