Allen Seif – a songwriter-guitarist-singer better known as Oak – is home again in Beirut, the place of his roots. Sonic-monk and travelling troubadour, Oak has been performing solo and with other musicians since the 90\u2019s in Beirut, Paris, Sydney and Wellington, New Zealand. <\/p>\n

His music – with soaring vocals, and chilled-out acoustic and raw electric guitars is in the vein of British Pop-Rock \u2013 with a folky breeze blowing through. With lyrics, in turn playful and edgy, Oak explores truth, longing, identity, war, love and beauty. His album \u2018On the Borderline (Between the Heart and the Mind)\u2019 was released in Sydney.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
