The Creaking Tree String Quartet is a Canadian progressive all-instrumental bluegrass and acoustic roots band from Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

In 2004 the Creaking Trees produced their debut album, The Creaking Trees, [1] and it was promptly nominated for a Juno Award.[2]

In February 2005, they performed at Glenn Gould Studio in Toronto in a combined concert with Beyond the Pale, blending bluegrass and klezmer music.[1] That year their second album, Side Two, won a Canadian Folk Music Award and an Indie Acoustic Project award.[3]

In 2007 the band performed at the Calgary Folk Music Festival.[4] Their third album, The Sound Track, was released and won two Canadian Folk Music Awards[5] and a Juno nomination.[3]

In 2008 the Trees performed at the fifth annual Toronto CityFest.[6] They set out on a tour of the US and western Canada, including a performance at the Vancouver Folk Music Festival.[5][2]

By 2010 they had recorded and released their fourth album, Sundogs.[7] Bryan Acker of HeroHill wrote, "it's how these seasoned TO players forge jazz, bluegrass, bebop, folk and traditional sounds into their own sound that makes the record so impressive."[8]

Members of the Creaking Tree Quartet include John Showman on fiddle, Andrew Collins on mandolin,[9] Brad Keller on guitar and Brian Kobayakawa on bass.[10]
