Red Oak Troubadours

We are three friends with a shared love for music and a drive to contribute to a better world through our work. Our main line up consists of guitar, mandolin, vocals and harmonica and we draw inspiration from folk and ethnic music as well as blues and rock with some sprinkles of psychedelia. We are passionate about what we do and we believe music is the root that connects all human beings. We like to combine it with storytelling to address themes of individual and social change and we aim to inspire our audience to embrace authenticity, connect with themselves and come together to shape a new reality.

    We are firm believers in the power of cooperation and community. Together we stand strong! With that in mind we aim to constantly create partnerships with other artists and individuals who align with our values and vision. 

    We are honored to present our partnership with Isabel Martinez, a talented Portuguese folk musician and multi-instrumentalist (voice, flute, bagpipes, adúfe and traditional percussion instruments).

    Together we have developed a full set of Portuguese songs composed by a mix of original music and our own personal interpretation of old traditional songs.
