Биография

Brother Oliver delivers high-energy performances through the lens of a folk-rock / psych-rock aesthetic—a genre they've officially coined as "psychedelic folk-rock." Their explorative approach to music strikes a chord with any audience and has gained recognition in the Southeast and abroad—landing them on bills alongside the Steve Miller Band, Father John Misty, Drake Bell, of Montreal, Matthew Logan Vasquez, SUSTO, Big Head Todd and the Monsters, and more. 
 The project was started in 2011 in the small town of Greenville, Michigan—where the brothers were born and raised. Just two years later, they moved to Greenville, South Carolina. 
 In 2017, Brother Oliver released their self-titled full-length album, Brother Oliver, which was regarded as highly innovative and caught the attention of Huffington Post, PBS, PopMatters, AXS, and more. Their most recent full-length album Well, Hell was the keystone of their catalog and put them at the cutting edge of the folk-rock world, garnering heavy attention yet again. The album’s release day was officially proclaimed as “Brother Oliver Day” by the mayor of Greenville, South Carolina and the band was named “2019 Artist of the Year” by the Upstate Music Awards. In 2022, Stephen Oliver broke a Guinness World Record for ‘longest marathon playing mandolin’—a feat that will be featured in an upcoming documentary film produced by the band’s label, Forthright Records.
