Pretty fresh from his first tattoo – Timothy Showalter a.k.a. Strand of Oaks has been getting into adventures on tour with his growing band. The imaginative, long-haired songwriter with the sweet, sweet voice will be making a pit stop at Johnny Brenda’s tonight, but you should take advantage of the appearance because he won’t be in town for long. Oaks will be spending the rest of November into December on the road with Crooked Fingers (a.k.a. Eric Bachman from Archers of Loaf), who will also be headlining the bill. So grab a few beers and enjoy the folk out of this evening! Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N Frankford Ave., 9pm, $12, 21+ – H.M. Kauffman
