Co + Oaks
Co + Oaks is a stripped down acoustic experience that blends music of songwriters Donnie CoCo and Oaks of “the Side Chicks”. They weave together guitar melodies and vocal harmonies for the listeners to experience their songs in a new way.

Oaks started The Side Chicks in 2016 with Staci Fink and some friends. The sound has evolved from alt-rock to pop to funk, and now to a rich mixture of neo-soul. The band takes inspiration from artists like Hiatus Kaiyote, Anderson .Paak, Amy Winehouse, and Jorja Smith.

Evan Veasey

Evan uses his writing as a mirror, a way of seeing himself and a way that the listeners who choose to inhabit the world of his songs can see themselves.
