BIO

Blue Oaks is a Sacramento based indie rock band led by songwriter, producer Brendan Stone. Since forming in 2007, the project has continually evolved, expanding from its early folk and blues roots into a richly textured sound that blends psych rock, post-punk, dream pop, and alternative genres. The result is music that is both atmospheric and deeply personal. Equal parts grit, melody, and emotional weight.

Following the release of their self-titled album and a series of live recordings, Blue Oaks embraced a new creative direction during the pandemic, writing and producing music independently from their home studio. This period sparked the creation of Holding, a new EP set for release in 2026. The band's recent singles "Light," "Bloom," and "Rose Coloured Dreams" offer a preview of the record, showcasing a broader sonic palette filled with shimmering guitars, layered production, and introspective songwriting while retaining the raw honesty that has always defined the band.

“Blue Oaks is once again evolving, with darker undercurrents and lush texture heavily calling to mind Stone Roses, Sonic Youth, and Dandy Warhols in Ghosts."
