Career

Scattered Trees began as a solo project for frontman Nate Eiesland, who moved from Minneapolis to Chicago in 2003 and began writing one song a month, each titled for the month it was written in.

Upon moving to Chicago, Nate and his now-wife Alissa[1] met brothers Jason and Baron Harper as well as Ryne Estwing[2] whilst performing in the same Chicago suburb venues. The band released their debut album, Song For My Grandfather, in 2006.[3] In 2007, they released their Heart of Glass EP through 4AM Records.

The band separated between 2007 and 2009, reforming after Eiesland’s father's death, and he began writing songs again.[4]
