Backstory:

Fruitful Notebook is a band that was formed in the small town of Carlton, Vermont. Founding members, Andy Clarke and Barry Ferris, were childhood friends who discovered their shared passion for music while writing songs in their high school arts class. The name ‘Fruitful Notebook’ was inspired by the notebook Andy used to pen down their early compositions – a notebook that was gifted to him by his mother, adorned with a vibrant print of assorted fruits. As their musical prowess grew, so did their band with the addition of multi-instrumentalist Sarah Madison and drummer Terry Gomez. Their sound has evolved over the years, but their roots remain firmly grounded in the fruitful notebook that started it all.

Genre:

Their music can be characterized as Indie Folk, with a touch of Alternative Rock.

Title:

“Orchard of Dreams”

Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
[G] Sitting on the porch, [C] under the old apple tree,
[G] Writing in my fruitful notebook, [C] life’s sweet mystery.
[D] Dreaming about the world, [Em] far beyond this town,
[G] Scribbling our hopes, [D] as the sun goes down.

(Chorus)
[C] In the orchard of dreams, [G] where the melodies flow,
[D] We string together words, [Em] under the moon’s soft glow.
[C] And every night, [G] under the stars above,
[D] We write our songs, [Em] etch our tales of love.

(Verse 2)
[G] The notes drift in the breeze, [C] sweet as summer wine,
[G] Echoing in the night, [C] in a rhythm so divine.
[D] In the quiet of the night, [Em] the notebook springs to life,
[G] Inking our journey, [D] through joy and strife.

(Chorus)
[C] In the orchard of dreams, [G] where the lyrics takes flight,
[D] We pour our hearts, [Em] under the lantern’s light.
[C] And with each song, [G] under this tree we’ve grown,
[D] We find our voice, [Em] in the tune’s gentle drone.
