12 Oak is the artist project of Sam Bowler. Hailing from a quaint town in Alaska, Sam's journey into the world of music began with an insatiable curiosity and a deep-seated love for melodies that spoke to the soul.

It wasn't until his college years that Sam dared to put pen to paper, giving voice to the melodies that had long danced in his mind. With each lyric and chord progression, he discovered a unique ability to weave together themes of melancholy, nostalgia, and optimism, creating music that resonated deeply with listeners.

Years of dedicated practice and honing his craft followed, as Sam immersed himself in the art of songwriting. His songs are marked by a raw honesty that captures the highs and lows of life, embracing the complexities of human emotion with each verse.

Alongside his wife and two children, he traverses the globe, drawing inspiration from the diverse cultures and landscapes they encounter. Despite the nomadic lifestyle, Sam has crafted a portable studio that fits snugly into a backpack, ensuring that inspiration strikes are never missed.
