UK act THE DREAMING TREE was formed sometime after the millenium, but didn't evolve towards a real band project until 2004, when forming duo Chris Buckler and Neil Ablard met Dan Jones on an engineering course. Dan was invited to join the duo's musical escapades, and soon after Jim Peterson and Steve Barratt agreed to take part in this endeavour as well.

With a complete line-up in place a self-titled EP was recorded and released in 2004. Following this the band concentrated on live performances, taking on as many live possibilities as possible. Be it as a whole band, parts of the band performing acoustic sets or whatever was needed for the occasion. This has had a lasting impact on the stylistic expression of this outfit, giving their compositions a fluent, improvisational edge.

In 2007 their debut effort Grafting Lines and Spreading Rumours saw the light of day, and in the spring of 2010 their sophomore effort Progress Has No Patience followed. Shortly after the album release The Dreaming Tree suffered their first line-up alteration. Jim Peterson decided to leave the band for personal reasons, and was replaced by Neil Simpson.

At the time of writing The Dreaming Tree appear to continue what they have doing for a number of years now: Playing live as often as possible in a wide variety of different settings. These days with two full albums to sell to what hopefully is a steadily growing fanbase.
