About the Band
New Oak is lead by Julius Thor Bjornson and features a rotating lineup. Playing modern American folk music, the band has its roots in America and Germany but is currently based in Istanbul. With a flair for the traditional and a strong sense of what’s new and innovative, New Oak invokes homesickness for the States while imbuing audiences with energy and excitement. Original songs influenced by a blend of Bluegrass, Old-Time, Country, Indie, and Pop make for unforgettable original material that invites you to sing, holler, or cry along.
