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 a modern take on classic band mythmaking. One member returned 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-but instead, they played their entire album straight through in a single take, resulting in their 2018 debut LP, 34 N River. The album was hailed as a "folk-pop masterpiece" by The Fader, and soon after, the band landed slots at Bonnaroo and Mountain Jam. In 2019, they released their 6-track EP, The Flood, which Billboard described as a "souvenir." Their self-titled sophomore album followed in July 2023, incorporating music from their earlier Northern Lights EP along with five new songs. Most recently, they released their Raindrop River EP in December 2024. Oliver Hazard's next chapter continues to tell the story of Waterville, Ohio-a small town with a big heart. Their music serves as a soundtrack to everyday life, lifting spirits and inviting listeners to find beauty in the ordinary.
The Last Revel
From the budding music scene of the Upper Midwest comes the cutting edge Front Porch Americana soundscapes of The Last Revel. This powerfully talented trio of multi-instrumentalists from Minneapolis, Minnesota so naturally blends the genres of Folk, Rockabilly, Old Time String-Band and Rock to create a sound that is as equally original as it is timeless. The Last Revel trio utilizes their multi-instrumental abilities to bring the acoustic guitar, upright bass, fiddle, 5-string banjo, harmonica, kick drum and three-part vocal harmonies together to consistently deliver "Bombastic live performances," as well as delicate and haunting folk ballads. With their second, self titled, album released in May of 2015, The Last Revel further demonstrates their ability to create rich and delicately textured recorded material with a modern "tip of the hat" to the storied history of American folk music.
