Strand of Oaks, otherwise known Tim Showalter, performs “Goshen ’97” and “Plymouth” in the Collective Arts Black Box Sessions. He also shared why his recent album “Heal” is his proudest work to date. its his third record, the shimmering, righteously all-caps HEAL, Timothy Showalter is on his own,  as if listening to all his favourite musicians: Jason Molina, Sharon Van Etten and the Smashing Pumpkins. Their songs are anthemic: they’re the best advice he can get his hands on. as long as they’re there. They can come through his headphones or float through the air of his room. One of these artists in particular stays like clean air sifting through fog: Jason Molina, captured in the dark, sludgy tome that is ‘JM’, never leaves Showalter. HEAL, with its big hooks and small apologies, feels like it wants to do the same for someone else one day: it wants to be the record you play when you’re home alone for good.

Timothy Showalter and his band Strand of Oaks came to record a session on the brink of the release of his new album, “HEAL”. There was a particular energy in the air during the shoot, as if we all knew some good things were about to come for these folks. It was the calm before the storm.

Showalter couldn’t have been nicer and more appreciative that we were taking the time out to film these songs. And to be honest, we were more than happy to collaborate with a fellow Philadelphian who happens to be creating some rad music.
