O Mello Cello Tree

This acoustic, near neo-folk duo is comprised of two

head strong women and have quite the tale to tell.

Darby Tollison, known to her fans as Darby One, met

Sarah Clanton a few years ago at Coffee Underground in

Greenville South Carolina. Sarah was involved with

another band, ViaMcbee, and finishing up Furman

Univeristy. Before everyone's eyes Sarah fell into the

throes of Darby's soulful tunes! After a classical

fall out with the flute Darby began playing guitar at

the age of thirteen. She always had hoped to integrate

the cello into her music.somehow.It had to be fate

that O Mello Cello Tree began as two musical soul

mates found each other. Since 2006 O Mello Cello Tree

has opened for various artists including Jump Little

Children's Ward Williams, Niel Brooks, and Wasted

Wine. The duo also participated in O.N.E. Music

Festival 2007 and will be returning again this year.

This summer O Mello Cello Tree will be performing at

Music in the Woods at Paris Mountain State Park, a

sustainable festival which Sarah Clanton has organized

for the 2008 season.



These ladies most recently made their way to the city

of dreams, Nashville, Tennessee, via their tremendous

fans. Now, with the release of their first

professional album, Ride to Graybar Lane, O Mello

Cello Tree hopes to gain serious ground in order to

fund an east coast tour within the next year. With the

support they have received so far, the possibilities

now seem limitless.
