Biography:
Strand of Oaks is the rock project of American songwriter and producer Timothy Showalter.
In 2003, Showalter's house burned down, his fiancée left him, and he resorted to writing songs on an acoustic guitar while living on park benches in suburban Philadelphia. Those events informed the entirety of his arresting debut, Leave Ruin , an album about loss and brokenness and lack of faith. But as affecting as it was, Showalter is leery of being stuck in the past.

Strand of Oaks - Little Wishes
This is a beautiful song from the "Dark Shores" album played using an acoustic
guitar and a pretty little picking pattern. You'll have to listen to the song to
figure it out, I can't picture it in my head.

The littlest house on the beach
