Izzy and the Black Trees was founded in 2018 by the singer and band leader, Izabela Izzy Rekowska who spent some time in London working-up her songwriting skills.
They have released their dark folky ballad single “Winter’s Coming Down” in March 2018. The song as well as its epic music video instantly gained recognition by various indie radio stations in the UK, the U.S and even Australia. Same year their debut EP was self-released. In autumn 2019, the rock’n’roll infused single Picasso’s Octopuss revealed a feisty, fuzz ridden sound which is present throughout the debut LP “Trust No One”.
Their live shows are full of punk and rock’n’roll energy. In 2019 they played among other shows at Westway LAB (PT), Spring Break (PL), TakBrzmiMiasto (PL) showcase festivals – selected as INES Talent 2019. Played concerts in Berlin, among others at the well-known club Schokoladen in Mitte.
In 2020 the band was invited to play at Liverpool SoundCity festival which was cancelled due to covid-19. They have planned concerts in Czech Republic which will be picked up once it is possible. Despite a tough situation Izzy & Co. managed to play a few exciting shows in the summer, among others at Inne Brzmienia in Lublin (Different Sounds festival).
