Our debut album as the Old Oaks Duo. This is inspired by the rise and fall of an intimate relationship--this recording was intentionally performed as "live in the studio" to get at the raw emotions and exposed feelings of love and music in this setting.

Frank Laufenberg on Vocals, guitar, songwriting
Daniel Haschke Saxophones and flute
Recorded, mixed and mastered by Noah Gilfillan from Audio for the Arts

Ain't No Sunshine Cover

This one's written for the life long love birds out there! The lyrics say it all. You can also watch us play this rendition on our YT page :)

When the newness wears off and the leaves wilt and drop
and the grey thoughts start and you can't make them stop
I'll be there, I'll be there, you know I'll be there
Fallin' over you, fall, yes I'm fallin' for you

When the fire goes out and you can't find the light
and the coughing won't stop and we stayed up all night
I'll be there, I'll be there, you know I'll be there
Holdin' you, hold, yes I'm holdin' you

Dancin' with you, Dancin' with me
Dancin' with you, Dancin' with me

When our hairs turnin' grey and we're loosing our sight
But we still have each other, so we know that we're right
We'll be there, we'll be there, you know we'll be there
Dancin' with you, and you'll be dancin' with me

Dancin' with you, and you'll be dancin' with me

Dancin' With You

Here's a commission example. 4 days, birthday song for a kid named solomon turning 7 on the 7th of October.

Solomon Song

The Day Before Yesterday is Old Oaks' first full band, studio release. The album carries a smooth acoustic, yet groovy vibe with charismatic, thought provoking lyrics. Moments of ripping saxophones solos over jazz progressions are complemented by solo 12-string guitar interludes to create an intimate sonic atmosphere held together by a formidable upright bass performance.

The Day Before Yesterday is meant to be understood like a memory that's on the tip of your tongue. To dive deeper, it's a frequent feeling of "Ya, I just did that...oh wait that was like five years ago" but at the same time "Oh ya that was a long time ago....oh wait that was yesterday...or the Day Before Yesterday." Doesn't NYE 2019/20 feel like the Day Before Yesterday? It does to me. Not to mention, this line is placed in the EP's first song, Light as a Feather. We hope this album holds some reminiscent moments for you.
