Strand Of Oaks, the rock project by songwriter and producer Timothy Showalter, recently delivered a powerful and emotional performance at a Tiny Desk concert. Showalter's music, often compared to Neil Young and Jason Molina, is filled with bite, warmth, and introspection. One of the standout songs of the concert was "JM," which pays tribute to the late Ohio singer-songwriter Molina.

During the concert, Showalter showcased his talent with just him and a guitar, displaying his raw and heartfelt songwriting. Despite the darker themes in his lyrics, Showalter's demeanor off-stage was warm and friendly, connecting with others over shared interests like vintage synthesizers.

Originally from Indiana and currently based in Austin, Texas, Showalter has released seven studio albums under the moniker Strand Of Oaks, including critically acclaimed works like "Heal" and "Eraserland." His music is a blend of rock, folk, and folk rock, resonating with audiences through its authenticity and emotional depth. Showalter's performance at the Tiny Desk concert was a testament to his prowess as a musician and storyteller, captivating listeners with his compelling songs and intimate delivery.
