The two founding members and primary songwriters of Treehouse Sanctum are Sam Rymer (vocals, guitar) and Danya Lynn Uptegrove (vocals, keys). Formed in 2011 after a house jam session, the band expanded in 2013 to include Andrew Horwath (drums, percussion, keys). Shortly thereafter, Treehouse Sanctum went on to release their debut album, ​Shake the Shadow​, in 2014. After that release, the band expanded to include Jeremy Gleason (lead guitar), Dewayne Rymer (trumpet, keys) & Ben Slaughter (bass); making Treehouse Sanctum a dynamic and polished 6 piece band that delivers a lush live performance that hits listens right in the “sweet spot.”

“Together the band creates a compassionate and warm sound — the way folk music, to us, is supposed to.” - ​303 Magazine

“...wave-like harmonies, a mariachi-esque interlude...and dreamy, floating melodies throughout, this track is an exciting peek into the Denver six-piece’s upcoming record, Vivere.” (review of lead single, Chacala) - ​BolderBeat
