Strand of Oaks album to arrive in October

Strand of Oaks’ new album, In Heaven, will be released October 1 and is now available for pre-order. In advance of the release, the album’s lead track and single, “Galacticana” is premiering today—listen/share HERE.

This is Tim Showalter's eighth studio album as Strand of Oaks. He says in a press release that it was "created with so much love and my greatest hope is that it connects with people and provides a momentary space for reflection, joy, catharsis and whatever else someone might be looking for in their life. Music is magic and I feel like the luckiest person in the world that I'm allowed to share it."

In Heaven was recorded in October 2020 with Kevin Ratterman at Invisible Creature in Los Angeles. In addition to Showalter on guitars and vocals and Ratterman on drums, the album features Carl Broemel (My Morning Jacket) on guitars, Bo Koster (My Morning Jacket, Roger Waters) on keyboards, Cedric LeMoyne (Alanis Morrissette, Remy Zero) on bass and Scott Moore on violin with special guest James Iha (The Smashing Pumpkins) on vocals and guitar on “Easter.”

Strand of Oaks will embark on an extensive nationwide fall tour. See below for full tour itinerary—venue and ticket information will be announced soon.

Since his debut in 2009, Showalter—performing as Strand of Oaks—has toured relentlessly with sold-out shows across the country including concerts with Jason Isbell and Iron and Wine and appearances on “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” NPR Music’s “Tiny Desk Concert” and more.
