Mighty Oaks in Flensburg

Mighty Oaks are an indie-folk trio formed in Berlin in 2010 by American singer and guitarist Ian Hooper, Italian guitarist and mandolin player Claudio Donzelli, and British bassist Craig Saunders. Acoustic folk, close vocal harmonies and restrained rock arrangements shape albums including Howl, Dreamers and All Things Go; “Brother” and “Just One Day” are among their best-known songs. The Howl Tour took Mighty Oaks through European clubs and theatres in 2014, and the Dreamers Tour followed in 2017 as the trio expanded its album-led concert schedule. The group performs as a band built around Hooper’s lead vocal and guitar, Donzelli’s guitar and mandolin, and Saunders’s bass. Rock am Ring and Rock im Park have both featured Mighty Oaks, placing the trio on two recurring German rock-festival programs.
