Fred Oakman

In the past 20 years, Oakman has toured the country belting out punk rock songs, initially with his well received bands Signal Home and The Twirpentines only to later try his hand at a more refined/direct approach to songwriting with his acoustic guitar.

Oakman currently heads off the Pennsylvania Rock Band: One If By Land. When he's not playing rock `n roll with OIBL, Oakman can be found dialing in what it takes to be a singer/songwriter.

Oakman is dusting off from his most recent full length titled “My Gasoline Heart” and is prepping for his follow up album.

While it's not rare to catch a solo performance, Oakman has also been performing live with his backing band The Flood which features members Troy Messerall on Lap Steel / Guitar, Nate Kuhn on Drums and Jacob Peters on Bass.

Before “My Gasoline Heart”, Oakman independently released a 5 song solo EP titled: The God Fearing Boy. Prior to that he had released a digital single titled "Come to Grips", a split album featuring the artist Fleets, and an EP of demo tracks.

His song "They Cannot Kill Me" was featured on the soundtrack to acclaimed independent film Prime of Your Life.

Oakman's band One If By Land released their second album in 2016 titled "Nobody Wants to Leave" and he is currently working with the gentlemen, writing in preparation for another album.
