Burr Oak on the track, "The moment when she knew, everything was going to be okay. Annabelle attends a group therapy session for single moms. There she meets someone who she immediately has a connection with. They hit it off, become fast friends and then eventually after a year of spending time together, fall in love. Annabelle sees the light at the end of a long and winding tunnel. She made it out alive and is cheerful about life with her beautiful baby and new partner." ""Like a Dream," the final track off our EP 'Annabelle', serves as a profound moment of resolution and renewal. After enduring emotional abuse, single motherhood, and post-partum depression, Annabelle's journey culminates in the discovery of love and companionship. The song represents a shift from darkness to light, where Annabelle's new relationship brings a sense of peace and belonging. " Burr Oak is the brainchild of Chicago-based singer/songwriter Savanna Dickhut, borne from the ashes of a tumultuous breakup. Her debut release “Late Bloomer” dives into Savanna's relationship with depression, trauma and acceptance with indie folk sounds. Now a four-piece band with a lineup including:Tony Mest (drums), Kevin Sheppard (guitar) and Meredith Nesbitt(bass), Burr Oak is always changing and evolving, just like a burr oak tree, transforming and adapting with the seasons.The band has quietly been gearing up for their sophomore release—a 5 song EP titled ‘Annabelle,’released today via Easy Does It Records. Departing from their previous album, ‘Late Bloomer,’ which showcased a more personal approach to songwriting, Savanna Dickhut (vocals and guitar) and Tony Mest (drums) craft a conceptual piece centered around the character of Annabelle. Across five tracks, the EP unfolds Annabelle's journey, beginning with the toxic relationship with her ex-boyfriend, Adam, marked by emotional abuse and an unexpected pregnancy in "Rainclouds." As Annabelle grapples with single motherhood in the title track "Annabelle" and post-partum depression in "No Time to Dream," respectively, the EP delves into the depths of her despair and isolation. However, amidst the darkness, there is resilience and hope. "Fine, Fine" sees Annabelle reflecting on her hardships, finding strength within herself to persevere. Finally, in "Like a Dream," Annabelle discovers companionship and love, signaling a new chapter of healing and happiness in her life. Through poignant storytelling and emotive melodies, ‘Annabelle’ evokes themes of love, loss, resilience, and the transformative power of human connection—a fictional story inspired by the chilling and very real overturning of Roe v. Wade. It is a narrative-driven EP that speaks to the genuine struggle of so many women today that are being deprived of their fundamental human right, the right to bodily autonomy. Annabelle encapsulates the universal experiences of women in America today, overcoming adversity and finding hope amidst life's challenges.

She first picked up the guitar as an aid to express her deep rooted feelings, as she told The Chicago Tribune, and she began writing the lyrics of her first single “Southsider” after a tumultuous break-up. Songwriting gave her strength at a time when she didn’t have it. “These are really personal songs. I’m ripping pages out of my diary and saying, ‘Here it is. Here’s how I really feel,’” she said. “I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders and I can finally breathe.” When launching her band 5 years ago in spring of 2019, The Chicago Tribune said Dickhut shows “the promise of a songwriter sure of her voice and sound, one that is piercing and deeply relatable and authentic.” In this way, Burr Oak has always been about merging brutally honest lyrics with a sound that FLOOD Magazine said would fit alongside Adrianne Lenker and Katie Crutchfield on a fall playlist. Prior to the pandemic, Savanna was about to tour as a live band member of Varsity and was about to embark on her own Burr Oak east coast tour after playing shows with Buck Meek (of Big Thief), Twain, among her other recent inspirations. When the pandemic canceled touring plans, Savanna redirected her focus in 2020 to finish her debut album, Late Bloomer. She began recording the record with Nick Papaleo (member of Gia Margaret and Campdogzz) while Michael Mac finalized it at Pallet Sound (Tasha, Tenci, V.V. Lightbody, more), both offering their own touches in the Americana pastoral folk/rock sound. While Dickhut digs deep into her own personal struggles with anxiety, depression and break- ups, she also explores acceptance. Late Bloomer’s imagery of gardens, flowers, and blooming helps make the songwriter's own growth come full-circle too. Late Bloomer, released later in 2021, is a record for everyone who’s felt like they grew into themselves later in life. Paste wrote “her lyrics are frank and direct, yet maintain a near- universal relatability, a sign of a songwriter to reckon with.” And this is truly Burr Oak's greatest strength: offering the specifics of her personal experiences to capture a universal feeling.
