Fever Tree was an American psychedelic rock band originating from Houston, Texas, known primarily for their fusion of various elements like folk, psychedelic, classical, and rock music during the late 1960s and early '70s. The band, formed in 1966, initially consisted of keyboardist Rob Landes, drummer John Tuttle, guitarist Michael Knust, bassist E.E. "Bud" Wolfe, and lead vocalist Dennis Keller. Their self-titled debut album, "Fever Tree," released in 1968, featured the single "San Francisco Girls (Return of the Native)," which became the band's biggest hit and exemplified their distinct baroque-rock sound that earned them a dedicated following.

Despite their initial success, Fever Tree struggled to maintain commercial viability with subsequent albums, though they continued to produce music that resonated with their fanbase. Even though their journey as a band was short-lived, with their last studio album "For Sale" arriving in 1970, Fever Tree has experienced a revival in interest due to the reissue of their early works and the release of archive performances such as "Live 1969." Showcasing their dynamic stage presence and the diversity of their live act, these releases helped earn Fever Tree a spot in the pantheon of cult classic bands from the era of psychedelia. Contemporary listeners continue to discover and appreciate their intricate arrangements and the distinctive mood that encases their psychedelically framed narratives.
