Biography
Shady Oaks is a riff-heavy blues-rock band from Denver that blends styles of alternative, blues, and southern rock. The four-piece consists of Ty Gallaway on Lead Guitar and Vocals, Isaac Vance on Slide and Supporting Lead Guitar, Avery Cox on Bass, and Augustus Hoff on Drums.
The band was formed by Ty Gallaway in 2020 after writing a number of blues-oriented rock songs inspired by acts such as The White Stripes, Shakey Graves, The Black Keys, and other modern blues influences. After the release of their debut album, MAD in 2022, the band has gained momentum and landed opening spots for larger acts including The Velveteers, Tiny Moving Parts, and Dexter and the Moonrocks.
In 2025, Westword named Shady Oaks Best Blues-Rock Band in their annual Best of Denver issue.
