"For the past five years I've had the privilege of providing music for Longwood Collective's //Outside program. The connections that the musicians and I have made with the community makes this a very special series for us. Whether performing for doctors, nurses, essential workers, patients and their families, medical students or staff, our music provides a respite from their often busy and hectic lives. The performers with Of An Oak Music represent a broad range of genres to help connect with people at different levels and I'm grateful to have had a part in improving the quality of life for so many over the years."
-Sam Dechenne, Of An Oak Music
"It was nice meeting you and your band the other day. Thanks for being so welcoming! I happened to be there waiting to pick up a patient. I was told that the best place to wait was the 2nd floor cafeteria. As nice as that is, I decided to venture out to the plaza, despite the rain. I'm a big fan of those umbrellas! :) I was pleasantly surprised that a band was playing, yours. You are all very talented and play extremely well! You play excellent, quality music. Thanks for sharing the information for everything happening at the plaza. I look forward to see your band again, as well as attending other events and activities!
Thank you for making a rainy day, sunny!" |

"Thumbs up for a great performance today you guys had arranged during my lunch break. Hoping there will be more to come!" "I just wanted to drop a line that the music was beautiful today. A lot of people relaxing listening to them and they were so lovely that it made me stop for a while today and just listen. Absolutely gorgeous pieces, so relaxing and peaceful, simply elegant and lovely. Great job finding them!" |
