BIOGRAPHY
METASEQUOIA sprouted in 2007, taking root in Ithaca, NY.
As a Seedling, we absorbed our surroundings; fusing together our different sounds and experiences into an organic melody.
This fusion became our foundation.
We've rooted ourselves in Rock & Roll; and branch, bend and flow into genres of Reggae, Alternative, Pop, Blues & Psychedelic.
​
METASEQUOIA has released 8 full length albums & 4 singles. Three of these albums and the singles (Insects, Trilling, In the Redwoods, Deja Vu, Emasque,Nude & Belinda) are available to stream on your favorite music listening app.

METASEQUOIA released 4 singles in 2023. The year was fully booked with local and regional shows. They upgraded their home-studio with intent to release more music, and allow the community to have a new and affordable resource to work on their music.
METASEQUOIA's 2022 tour for "In the Redwoods" took them regionally across New York State and Connecticut. With an original 21 shows planned, they wound up capping the season off over 40.
METASEQUOIA placed in the top 16 for 2022 NYS Music March Madness.
METASEQUOIA toured in 2019 for "Coming to America". A return from living and playing internationally in Iceland, they toured Nashville, TN and the surrounding areas.
