Strand of Oaks is the rock project of Timothy Showalter, a songwriter and producer born in 1982 and raised in Indiana, and Heal, in 2014, was the album that got him onto rock radio's countdowns with "Shut In" and "Goshen '97", a title that shares its name with his hometown. He'd been at it for a while by then, with Leave Ruin, Pope Killdragon and Dark Shores behind him, and his music straddles rock and folk: big, bruised, earnest songs that sound like they were written late at night and played loud the next morning.

Signed to Dead Oceans, he kept the records coming. Hard Love brought "Radio Kids" in 2017, Eraserland gave up "Ruby" in 2019, In Heaven followed in 2021 with "Galacticana", and Miracle Focus arrived in 2024 as his eighth studio album. These days he calls Austin, Texas, home.
