CATCH THE BAND ON TOUR 

STARTING APRIL 9TH FOR HEADLINE SHOWS 

SPANNING THE REST OF THE YEAR

Indie-folk trio Oliver Hazard releases their poignant single, “Haunted,” the debut track from their forthcoming release. “Haunted” offers a unique blend of upbeat harmonies and vulnerable lyrics that touch on heartbreak and the absence of someone special. Listen HERE.

“This is a song about being haunted by love. It was originally written in the 200-year-old house that I grew up in. The house is filled with old memories and emotions from my life. This song is about how memories can live in a physical space—the same way a scent of a flower can feel nostalgic. ‘Haunted’ is a song about that shared space, where past and present collide, in a bittersweet symphony,” states frontman Mike Belazis.

After numerous sold out shows, performances with The Toledo Symphony Orchestra, and festival appearances this past year at Treefort, Austin City Limits and their very own Oliver Hazard Day in Waterville, OH, Oliver Hazard continues to bring their captivating live show to audiences across North America. The band will be hitting the road for a handful of headline and co-headline tour dates with Proxima Parada. Along the way, Oliver Hazard will perform at Newport Folk Festival and Sound and Color Festival. Catch the band performing their new music live for the first time by purchasing tickets HERE.

The story of Waterville, OH indie-folk band Oliver Hazard – Michael Belazis (vocals, guitar) and Devin East (vocals, guitar), joined by Nate Miner (keys, vocals) – is the digital age’s 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 “folk-pop  masterpiece” 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 “souvenir.” Their most recent self-titled album, released in July 2023, led to tours with The 502s, Houndmouth, and sold out North American headline tours. With a new batch of music and an endless touring schedule in 2024, Oliver Hazard are on their way to becoming staples in the indie-folk scene. Stay tuned for more news on the new music.
