Oxford Noland is the indie rock brainchild of cousins Shua Harrell and Aaron 'Bucky' Buckingham. The two grew up skateboarding, playing golf, and wandering their grandparents’ strawberry farm around their native Plant City, Florida. Their musical connection was influenced early-on through weekend gatherings at the farm, listening to their family swap classic folk and gospel tunes.

"Back when we first started playing, it was Americana. We had an upright bass player and we put out an EP under the name Bootleggers and Baptists.” Bucky says, adding “it's mind-blowing to think about that now.” At some point they went electric and swapped their bass player for a microkorg acquired on a whim from a jam session, but they wisely carried over Shua's potent, elevated lyrics and songwriting to their next evolution. The result was a sound somewhere between Radiohead and Fleet Foxes; thus, Oxford Noland was born. **Inactive as of 4/3/21
