Born and raised in Providence, RI, Oliver was autonomous from the start. Teaching himself to play drums and guitar, he began listening and playing along to anything he could find. Before starting high school, he moved with his family to Houston.

After going back to Providence for college, surrounded by notable music colleges and conservatories, he cut his teeth by playing casually in bands around town. He then began writing his own songs, introducing his earnest sound to the Northeast. Oliver is now back in Texas building a strong fanbase online and on the road, having already shared the stage with Charley Crockett, Shakey Graves, Randall King, The California Honeydrops, and Shinyribs.

Combining his reverence for traditional music with his interest in modern technique, Oliver has created a distinct sound that is sure to keep evolving. When he isn’t on the road he’s in the studio creating honest music that celebrates the blues, country, and retro-soul music.
