"Using the cello as a bass and lead instrument, Ken Oak Band is nothing shy of an acoustic dreamscape. The two members in the band layer their vocals surprisingly smoothly on their second album with rhythm guitar and dark cello beats. This album is basically everything you'd expect from a cross country acoustic tour. It's hearty and brooding, and it squeezes the heartstrings. The album starts off with two listen-up tracks, and equalizes itself as a pleasantly steady acoustic set. (Reminds me of a fresh Rocky Votolato or Iron and Wine) They actually stop by Rice and play gorgeous sets behind the RMC when they're in town. Playlist, and support."
The Ken Oak Band, described by Billboard Magazine as "soulful" and "calming", are an acoustic duo comprised of Ed Gorski and Ken Oak. Commonly billed as a 'cello rock' act, they consistently captivate audiences with their unique combination of cello and acoustic guitar providing a minimalist backdrop for deceptively sincere songwriting. They have been included on the soundtrack to major motion picture She's The Man, completed five national tours and produced two albums under their own label, Cello Rock Records. With Ed's luscious strumming on rhythm guitar working in harmony with the deep, stirring chords Ken pulls from the cello, their sound communicates directly to the heart of the audience.
Hi there, My boyfriend actually picked up your CD when he was in Santa Monica... He brought it up to San Francisco when he came to visit and I've been listening to it ever since!
so the last time i saw you guys perform was at the chinese new years festival in monterey park, and i just came back from the KTOWN festival in LA! you guys were greatt!! i told my sister about how great you guys were, but she didnt really get the whole effect of your music till she heard you guys play livee!! we tried our best to scream and cheer after you playedd!! keep it up and good luck!! :D
Dudes, I was so excited to see your bulletin post about having shows in San Diego. And then when I saw that you guys were coming to SDSU, I punched the air with a loud "YES!"
...Then I saw that the show's at noon. I'm in class. *tear*
You guys definitely have to come back to SDSU once your new album is ready for sale. I will buy it. FOR SURE!
