Oak Creek Band's 4th work and first Vinyl, this is a 12" EP that entitled "Glorietta." The EP is made up of two distinct sides; The RED Side and The BLUE Side.

The RED Side features 3 Rock n' Roll songs played by the 9 piece Oak Creek band including keys, percussion and a three piece horn section in addition to the core band. Inspired by the production of Bob Marley's "Catch a Fire," the original tracks were recorded in a one day session at The Sanctuary in Nashville, TN where the band also performed and recorded later again that night with a live audience. The original sessions were taken to the Watters house where over dubs were recorded in the downstairs recording studio, the "Zen Den."

The BLUE Side features three acoustic duets sung by the Watters. It's a throwback to the days before the band was officially formed and Daniel and Jenna where singing Simon and Garfunkel in coffee shops. Recorded downstairs in the "Zen Den," the whole recording process was done entirely by Oak Creek. 

"Glorietta EP"

Days go by,
We’re busy all the while
Over and over and over, we fall apart

Eyes that cry
Can’t see the changing tides
Over and over the waves wash away the time

Chorus
The world keeps turning circles still the same
And all is always bound to change

Life flies by
Through memories and miles
Come and we go, fast and slow
In and out on our own

Winds they rise
A storm engulfs the night
Weathered and worn from 
Another day gone awry


Time

Glorietta

Endless resistance 
To conscious existence
Natural instincts
No relief from my conditioned beliefs

Cannibal Animals
Heart strings, Free radicals
We write how the story goes
We will bloom like a flower bud

Glorietta
Glorietta
I’m comin’ to get ya Glorietta
Don’t you ever say you can’t be found

Untouchable raptors
Conglomerate Actors
Playing duopoly scavengers
Pickin on poor drone bottom feeders

Cannibal animal
Heart strings, Free radicals
We write how the story goes
We will bloom like a flower bud

Glorrietta
Glorrietta
I’m comin to get ya Glorietta
Don’t you ever say that its too late

Incredible Animal
Long haired free radical
We write how the story goes
We will bloom like a flower bud


Glorietta

Though they met in middle school, it wasn’t until their high school graduation ceremony in their hometown of Sedona, AZ that Jenna & Daniel Watters first sang together. Performing as a folk duo for many years while battling long distances between travel and school, they decided to join forces permanently, moving to Denver in 2009 to start a band. After immersing themselves in the Denver music scene, they began dating (and eventually married) while shaping a unique sound with their 5-piece ensemble. “The Oak Creek Band” began touring the Rocky Mountains and Southwest restlessly in 2011 and 2012, logging over 32,000 miles in their beloved van, “Justin Beeper”. Having played concerts, festivals, dive-bars, weddings, private-parties and even the Daytime Emmy Awards in Los Angeles, they have been winning over fans as diverse as the events they have been apart of with their high-energy performances and beautiful vocals. After releasing two EPs in the span of two years, they have crafted an eclectic mix of Americana, Rock, and Indie-Pop that feature addictive melodies and soaring harmonies. The band relocated to Nashville, TN in February 2013 and they are currently producing their debut full-length album in Music City USA.

Musical goal: 
“Spreading the importance of coming together as a people in the name of love and peace through our music. Oh, and making a living off our music so we can quit our day jobs," 
-Jenna Watters.


"Based on the crowd size and their connection to the music, The Oak Creek Band was who people came out to see. The band’s name evokes thoughts of country and roots rock, and although there were bits of both, it was not in the rowdy or rough and tumble way I had envisioned. What I heard was more refined late seventies rock that at times reminded me of mainstream Fleetwood Mac. Their music also had a transcendental feel, and hints of new age spirituality. I love surprises, and this was a sound that had an identity all its own. The harmony filled vocals were laced with pop and soul, and the lyrics were thoughtfully meaningful. This band seems to want to connect with fans on a deeper level, and the fans seemed to want to reciprocate. The Oak Creek Band’s music is highly energetic, especially when their indie rock side comes out, but it is also surprisingly soothing."
