Our Story

Named for Something
Ancient & Alive

Angel Oak Orchestra takes its name from the legendary Angel Oak tree on Johns Island, South Carolina — a Southern live oak believed to be 400-500 years old. Its massive branches sprawl outward, some dipping down to touch the earth before rising again toward the sky.

Like that tree, our music is rooted in something old but very much alive. We draw from the deep well of traditional American sounds — folk ballads, bluegrass rhythms, the soul of the Delta — while reaching toward something new and expansive.

Our sound is layered and atmospheric. This isn't stripped-down acoustic folk. It's something fuller, more orchestral in its ambition — blending storytelling with sweeping arrangements that feel like standing beneath a centuries-old canopy, watching light filter through the leaves.

The Band

The Musicians

Six voices. Keys that range from intimate piano to the warm swell of Hammond organ. Guitars acoustic and electric. A rhythm section that knows when to drive and when to breathe. This is a band built for texture and dynamics.
