Olivers Army are going on tour to celebrate the release the first single from their forthcoming third record due for release in the early parts of 2014!
Olivers Army is the musical conjurings of Barossa Valley born singer songwriter Ryan Oliver. He started writing contemporary folk songs whilst traveling North America as a teenager and upon returning to his hometown of Adelaide, he formed a band with his twin brother in 2010. Since then the band have gone from strength to strength, releasing a self titled EP in 2010, and their second, Alternative-Country influenced EP, II, in 2012. Highlights included sold out releases at Jive and The Governor Hindmarsh Hotel and supports for Big Scary, Deep Sea Arcade and Eagle and the Worm, amongst others.
In 2013 Ryan relocated to Melbourne and formed a band with former Adelaide musical comrades Tom Krieg and James Roberts (The Battery Kids) Gina Somfleth (Menagerie) and Sam Billinghurst Walsh (James McCann, Peter Ewing, Ruth Lindsey) and will be releasing a new single ‘Golden Tree’ in September 2013 with shows in Canberra, Sydney, Newcastle, Adelaide and Melbourne.
