Ollie's 2006 debut was a smash - getting rave reviews in mags like Billboard and out-selling anything else we've put out (yet!). He recorded and played the whole thing himself in his apartment on a laptop computer ferchrissakes! We excitedly await what he'll come up wtih next.
"Musically, Byrd excels at creating a full band sound by himself, embracing his influences while noticeably striving for something to call his own. The songs are broad, well structured, extremely animated, and sometimes adventurous. They progress, revert, and often explode delightfully at the end. This, combined with Byrd’s new-millennium yet down-home production style, result in songs that are raw, stirring, and unpredictable. The potential here is astounding."
