The Oakwood Waits In 1984 a group of friends most of them residents of the historic Oakwood neighborhood of Raleigh NC came together to sing carols for their neighbors during the Christmas season. As years passed the ensemble evolved and adopted the name The Oakwood Waits. The term Waits from early English refers to street musicians especially singers. Since then citizens of Raleigh and the surrounding region eagerly anticipate hearing the harmonious a cappella songs of The Oakwood Waits as they perform in authentic 1840s attire in parades public concerts and private holiday gatherings.
