Tonight Strand of Oaks (a.k.a. Tim Showalter) makes a stop home with Pattern Is Movement’s Chris Ward on drums to take the stage at Union Transfer opening for The Tallest Man On Earth (a.k.a. Kristian Matsson). The duo has been on tour with the Swedish singer-songwriter in support Oaks’ latest release Dark Shores, which was produced by John Vanderslice and Ian Pellicci. They also recently had the honor of backing Matsson during a recording session for Moog Sound Lab (pictured above). I hope that you have your tickets already because this evening’s show is sold out. Union Transfer, 1026 Spring Garden St., 8pm, $25, All Ages – H.M. Kauffman
