Simple Life started as a solo acoustic project called The Sleep Silent Scenario in July 2012. It didn't take long for the project to hit the road for tour in December of 2012 leading into January 2013. The tour included acts such as Bear, The Gentlemen and Forever Mountain and hit several cities from Louisiana to Mississippi, and even Alabama; however, Simple Life's hometown, Metairie, had the greatest turnout. When the tour hit The Cypress in Metairie, LA, fans as far as Hattiesburg came to see us play, despite already having seen us in Hattiesburg the week before. Continuing the dedication put into the tour, Simple Life released their acoustic EP, "Windy Acres", in August 2013. This EP included the band's most popular song "Molly's Song". To this day, when the band plays this song, the entire crowd sings along. Wanting to be as serious as possible, Simple Life went all the way to The Satellite Studio in Daphne, Alabama to record the EP with professional producer Drew Ray, a large step for a single musician. This EP was released as a professionally made hardcopy jewel-cased CD and is also available electronically via iTunes, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon, Bandcamp, CDbaby, Bigcartel, etc. This was a huge success in the start of Simple Life. After releasing Windy Acres, lead guitarist Jeffrey Fisher joined vocalist Zachary Bradshaw to create a more defined Simple Life. After a few months of performing, the duo decided it was time they incorporated the full band in their endeavors. Thus, they added drummer Adam Sauter and bassist Raymond Oller to the band. Together, the four made a huge impression on the local music scene. With four members in the band, Simple Life was able to act more productively in putting out new merch designs and writing new music. In the Summer of 2014, the group traveled back to Alabama to begin working on their debut album with producer Drew Ray once again. Fast-forward to February 24, 2015, and The Family Tree was now a reality. Following a plethora of release shows around the New Orleans area, the band is now setting their sights to promoting their new album and releasing some new music in 2016.
