Burr Oak is the brainchild of Chicago-based singer/songwriter Savanna Dickhut, borne from the ashes of a tumultuous breakup. Her debut release “Late Bloomer” dives into Savanna's relationship with depression, trauma and acceptance with indie/folk sounds. Now a four-piece band with a lineup including: Tony Mest (drums), Kevin Sheppard (guitar) and Meredith Nesbitt (bass), Burr Oak is always changing and evolving, just like a burr oak tree, transforming and adapting with the seasons.
The band has quietly been gearing up for their sophomore release— a 5 song EP titled "Annabelle,” slated for release near the end of summer 2024. Departing from their previous album, "Late Bloomer," which showcased a more personal approach to songwriting, Savanna Dickhut (vocals and guitar) and Tony Mest (drums) craft a conceptual piece centered around the character of Annabelle. Across five tracks, the EP unfolds Annabelle's journey, beginning with the toxic relationship with her ex-boyfriend, Adam, marked by emotional abuse and an unexpected pregnancy in "Rainclouds."
"Rainclouds," the first single off of their forthcoming EP is out now.
