The Tree That Falls
The Tree That Falls is an acoustic duet featuring cellist Cristobal Cruz-Garcia and guitarist John Shafer. Established in early 2016, the duo incorporates the modern fingerstyle technique for guitar and cello while taking influence from a wide variety of world styles and genres.
Prominent influences include Balmorhea, Eugene Friesen, Ben Sollee, Aoife O’Donovan, and the late Jóhann Jóhannsson, a Golden Globe–winning composer for whom the duo opened in October 2016.
