Praise for MIGHTY OAKS
“Mighty Oaks’ songs acquire a further and deeper meaning once you hear them live as singer Ian Hooper likes telling the stories behind some of the songs during shows… despite getting more and more well known remain genuine and very down-to-earth, which is one of the most admirable qualities they have aside their obvious talent. ” – Indie Nation
“I think “Dreamers” might be one of the catchiest, yet classiest Folk albums I’ve heard in a while. It offers a fantastic selection of tempos; dreamy and beautiful ballads, as well as up-beat Folk-Rock track.” – Vanessa Jertschewske, House in the Sand
“Mighty Oaks write honest, authentic and emotionally driven songs. With songs set amidst wonderful landscapes come tales of love, loss and the beauty of all that surrounds. We talk to the band about their solid bond, feeling vulnerable about critics and climbing trees…” – The Seventh Hex

Berlin-based indie folk trio Mighty Oaks are ringing in the new year with the start of their most impressive and exciting era yet, kicking off with the release of single “Tell Me What You’re Thinking”, which was revealed last Friday 17th of January. This track is the final taste of the trio’s new album “All Things Go”, before its release on Friday 7th February.
“‘Tell Me What You’re Thinking’ is about relationships in the social media age where communication is integral but people are getting worse and worse at looking each other in the eyes,” said the band. “Everything is digital, emoji, SMS, passive communication. You can never understand someone if you can’t learn to speak to them. This song is about someone who cannot gauge their partner.”
The track is a beautiful ballad, driven by a delicate acoustic guitar riff accompanied by tight, three-part harmonies lead by Ian Hooper’s husky vocals, the track tackles a heartfelt theme while remaining lively resulting in a dynamic tune. This song whilst key moments showcase their signature style, this single introduces fans and new listeners alike to a new era of Mighty Oaks as the group head into their 10th year making music together.
Since joining forces in 2010, this Berlin-based group, have crafted masterpiece upon masterpiece, recently joining The Lumineers on their tour across Europe, continuing to surprise their existing fans and entice new ones to their shows each year. They now have almost 700’000 monthly listeners on Spotify, and their stunning song “Brother” has recently hit 4.5 million views on YouTube.
“Howl” – their debut album – was released at the beginning of 2014 with both European and international chart entries that followed, while their single “Brother” gained massive airplay throughout Europe, and had sold out their European tour the Spring that same year.

Festival (Germany), Montreux Jazz Festival(Switzerland), Latitude (UK), Slotsfjell (Norway), Way Out West (Switzerland), Exit Festival (Serbia), Dockville (Germany), and Valkhof (The Netherlands).

The trio also featured on the lineup for festivals including Rock am Ring (Germany), Rock im Park (Germany), Lowlands (Netherlands), St. Gallen Open Air (Switzerland), Frequency Festival (Austria) and Lollapalooza (Chicago & Berlin).
