come hither to Episode 180 of Third Gear Scratch podcast in which we welcome Mr Tim Showalter of Strand of Oaks and a recent cast member on Mayans MC acting alongside the likes of Edward James Olmos for 2 seasons. Strand of Oaks has a storied and celebrated discography since Leave Ruin (2009) and shared the stage with other luminaries like Jason Isbell and Lucinda Williams. The pandemic presented Tim with a moment to pause after 12 very busy years and 7 LPs and in that cessation he found Ram Dass, yoga, TM and an unforeseen need to start painting for 2 years straight and didn't touch an instrument. When he did reemerge he found his synthesizers were the tool most suited to his current state of mind and body. Miracle Focus (2024 Self-released) is an album of almost all synth based songs that still sounds refreshingly like SoA but also clearly has been rebirthed. it's a celebration of every minute of every day. great record and great rap with a vibrant artist.
