We had the pleasure of interviewing Oliver Hazard over Zoom video!

Waterville, Ohio indie-folk outfit Oliver Hazard captivates listeners with their unique blend of delicate arrangements and sturdy melodies on their new self-titled album released today with Nettwerk. Listen to the album that\u2019s sure to win hearts with its introspective lyrics.

The album is the work of 3 individual singers, songwriters and multi-instrumentalists, who share an organic connection in the craft -- sensibilities that yield music that's harmonic, haunting and also ambitious and surprising. "This album feels different than anything we've done in the past. We\u2019re very simple people, all three of us. I think the album reflects that, and I hope it captures something you probably can't describe yourself, but that speaks to you,\u201d the band shares. \u201cAnd as far as the message, it\u2019s just shared experiences.\u201d

About Oliver Hazard:
The story of Waterville, OH indie-folk trio Oliver Hazard - Michael Belazis (vocals, guitar) and Devin East (vocals, guitar), joined by Nate Miner (keys, vocals) - is the digital age\u2019s version of classic band mythmaking. One member of the band came home to Ohio after leading camping trips in California and decided to make an album with two childhood friends. They won a Facebook raffle to record one song at a studio. Instead, they played their whole album straight through once, resulting in their debut LP 34 N River (2018). The Fader called the album a \u201cfolk-pop masterpiece\u201d and the band was booked at Bonnaroo and Mountain Jam shortly thereafter. In 2019, the band released their 6 track EP, The Flood, which Billboard called a \u201csouvenir.\u201d This brings the band to their sophomore, self-titled album (July 2023), featuring music from the band\u2019s recent Northern Lights EP, plus five additional songs.
