Sweet harmonies sung by three sincere musicians
Not many people know of Waterville, Ohio, a little town in the rust belt on the Maumee River. This is where the members of the indie folk trio Oliver Hazard learned their music by listening attentively.
Michael Belazis (vocal, guitar), Devin East (electric guitar) and Nate Miner (keyboards) consciously built up their following, playing over a hundred living-room concerts all over USA, one intimate conversation after another. That spirit imbues all they do, from hosting their own local music festival, Oliver Hazard Day, to getting their names on the posters at Newport Folk Festival, Austin City Limits and Bonnaroo. OIiver Hazard has toured with big names, recorded with producer Jacquire King (Zach Bryan, Kings of Leon, Tom Waits) and seen their songs travel further than they had dreamed of.
Throughout their albums, 34 N River (2018), The Flood (2019), Oliver Hazard (2023) and Raindrop River (2025), the band keep referring back to their beginnings, writing songs about their home town. This is basically indie folk you heard by chance in a bar in the mid west, sweet harmonies sung by three sincere musicians who catch your ear and bring you in. Their music is a soundtrack to daily life, inviting the listener to find beauty in the ordinary.
