Fire Doesn’t Grow On Trees is the beginning of a thrilling new phase for Newcombe and his band.

With tours in Europe starting in September 2022 & another in February 2023 . Originally Newcombe was heavily influenced by The Rolling Stones' psychedelic phase - the name comes from Stones guitarist Brian Jones combined with a reference to cult leader Jim Jones, but his work in the 2000s has expanded into aesthetic dimensions approximating the UK Shoegazing genre of the 1990s and incorporating influences from world music, especially Middle Eastern and Brazilian music
