Philly folk rockers Strand of Oaks are on tour now and about to headline their largest NYC show yet on Thursday (12/4) at Bowery Ballroom. Since we last spoke, the similarly-minded Torres was added to a few dates including last night’s Toronto show (12/1), the upcoming Philly show, and the NYC show. You can still get tickets to both NYC and Philly. Updated dates are listed below.

In other news, Strand of Oaks main man Timothy Showalter just told Philly.com that his favorite albums of 2014 are Sun Kil Moon’s Benji, Marissa Nadler’s July, Sharon Van Etten’s Are We There and Ryan Adams’ self-titled, the latter of which includes the song “My Wrecking Ball” that Strand of Oaks recently covered. You can stream that below. Strand of Oaks’ own 2014 LP, Heal, was a favorite of his Philly neighbors, Restorations.

Hear Ya also just put out a live session video of Strand of Oaks playing “Shut In” from their new record. You can watch that, with the Ryan Adams cover and list of dates, below…
