Berlin based trio, Mighty Oaks have crafted a sound that is equally timeless and nostalgic, telling personal stories of friendship, hope, love and life little journey’s. There aren’t many bands that can connect with a listener and an audience the way that Mighty Oaks instantly can. The breadth of human emotion deeply rooted in their […]
When a songwriter can fit the term ‘pathetic fallacy’ into a song and give it meaning, then I think you’re onto a winner.

Banjo-wielding troubadour Jameson is back on UK shores this week, again supporting the mighty Rival Sons. Having just released his new EP ‘Carnivore’, we were very excited when we were invited to interview the man himself to learn more.
