Backstory:
Excitable Apple is a spirited group formed in the heart of Oklahoma’s dynamic music scene. The band was conceived out of an impromptu jam session at the annual “Apple Harvest Festival” in 2010, where three apple farmers discovered a shared passion for music, storytelling, and their rural lifestyle. The band members – Pete, Aiden, and Sean – each contribute their unique musical backgrounds to create a distinctive sound that’s as rustic and authentic as the apple orchards where they work.
Over the years, Excitable Apple has evolved from performing at local county fairs to touring nationwide, always staying true to their roots. Their music captures the heart and soul of rural America with a lively and infectious style that leaves audiences tapping their toes and singing along. Their journey from the apple orchards to the national stage has inspired their fans, earning them a dedicated and passionate following.

“Underneath the Apple Tree”
Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] Underneath the apple tree, [D] we found our harmony
[Em] In the golden afternoon, [C] playing our folksy tune
[G] Strings strumming, hearts humming, [D] under the summer’s glee
[Em] Let’s sing a song, won’t you [C] come along, underneath the apple tree
(Chorus)
[G] We’re Excitable Apple, [D] no tale’s too scrabble
[Em] In our music, you’ll find [C] pieces of the heartland
[G] Join us now, take a bow, [D] under the apple bough
[Em] Dance to the fervor, [C] let the music take you over
(Verse 2)
[G] Night falls, the hoot owl calls, [D] we’re playing our final spree
[Em] Underneath the stars’ glow, [C] sharing stories of the meadow
[G] Songs of love, hope and sorrow, [D] echoing the morrow
[Em] Come along, sing our song, [C] underneath the apple tree
(Chorus)
[G] We’re Excitable Apple, [D] no tale’s too scrabble
[Em] In our music, you’ll find [C] pieces of the heartland
[G] Join us now, take a bow, [D] under the apple bough
[Em] Dance to the fervor, [C] let the music take you over
