Tim Showalter’s latest release as Strand Of Oaks, ‘Hard Love’, emanates an unabashed, raw and manic energy that embodies both the songs and the songwriter behind them: “For me, there are always two forces at work: the side that’s constantly on the hunt for the perfect song, and the side that’s naked in the desert screaming at the moon. It’s about finding a place where neither side is compromised, only elevated.”
