October Dublin date for Strand of Oaks

Strand of Oaks will play Whelan’s on Friday 3 October. Strand of Oaks is the moniker that singer-songwriter Timothy Showalter performs under and he will be promoting his new album ‘Heal’ which is due for release in June.

Showalter has assembled a full band for this, a tour that almost didn’t happen. In December, just before he was due to start mixing the album, Showalter and his wife were involved in a serious car accident that they were lucky to escape with their lives. Showalter does however believe that this traumatic experience pushed the album towards a “much more cathartic sound.”

Tickets for Strand of Oaks are on sale on Thursday 29 May, priced €16.
