Live at the Brick: Old Oaks

The Old Oaks Duo brings a refreshing chill-yet-funky take on acoustic music to the Live at the Brick stage.

Their sound floats between peaceful and gripping, blending emotive songwriting with rich instrumental textures. Franko’s warm vocals and intricate guitar work are elevated by Daniel Haschke’s harmonious saxophone solos and expressive alto flute riffs — creating a dynamic acoustic experience that feels both intimate and expansive.

From 12-string renditions of classics like Heart of Gold and What’s My Age Again to melodious indie originals, Old Oaks delivers a performance that is soulful, rhythmic, and unexpectedly powerful.
