STRAND OF OAKS EXPANDS MARATHON US TOUR
ADDS SASQUATCH, LOLLAPALOOZA, OSHEAGA, & OUTSIDE LANDS FESTIVALS
SUPPORTING JASON ISBELL, ALABAMA SHAKES, & RYAN ADAMS
Strand
of Oaks wants to spend time with you this summer. Every one of you.
Starting this month the band will make their way across the country in
continued support of last year's highly-acclaimed, HEAL. Strand
of Oaks' already exhilirating live show will add decibels in the form of
a guitar helmed by eastcoaster (and new band member) Carter Tanton. The
band's spring tour resumes in Chattanooga, TN on April 16 with a
handful of dates in support of Jason Isbell. Notable festival stops on
their route include Middle of the Map, Hangout, Sasquatch, Governors
Ball, Bonnaroo, Lollapallooza, Osheaga, and Outside Lands - so almost
all of 'em. Strand of Oaks will also play support to Alabama Shakes and
Ryan Adams.
Since we last spoke, frontman Tim Showalter coaxed some truth from Father John Misty's I Love You, Honeybear for The Talkhouse and paid a visit to NYC's Ace Hotel for their 5 at 5 series. Catch a glimpse of his inner Viking on the road, full list of dates below.

Praise for HEAL
"...full-on,
heart-on-sleeve vision-quest rock in the style of Showalter's beloved
Smashing Pumpkins, with a spinkle of humility courtesy of the late Jason
Molina."
- GRANTLAND, #3 - The Best (a.k.a. My Favorite) Music of 2014
"Some of
the best new music we heard in 2014 was sitting right in our own
backyard. With his band Strand of Oaks, Philly-based singer, songwriter
and guitarist Tim Showalter released a knockout rock 'n' roll record
called HEAL...this is Strand of Oaks' most personal record, and
it resonates with amplified power, soaring guitar solos and a
confessional approach to songwriting."
- NPR, Public Radio's 10 Breakout Artists of 2014
"With its bombastic anthems and touching songwriting, the album is an incredibly revealing statement from a resilient artist."
- THE AV CLUB, #11 - The 20 Best Albums of 2014
"This is big, bold rock music, even when it's quiet."
- AQUARIUM DRUNKARD, 2014 Year in Review
"HEAL has
one of those great paradoxes in music -- it's an expansive album
musically, but is rooted in all those personal and intimate details that
keep big music human. It's one of the year's breakthrough albums, and a
great one at that."
- STEREOGUM, #20 - The 50 Best Albums of 2014
"A fierce,
heady triumph...this album is one of the true out-of-nowhere delights
of 2014. One of its recurring themes is the power of music to get folks
out of the tighetest emotional and psychological jams, and HEAL is just the kind of revelatory album to do the trick."
- AMERICAN SONGWRITER, #3 - Top 50 Albums of 2014
