The story of Waterville, OH indie-folk trio, Oliver Hazard, is the digital age’s version of classic band myth-making. 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 was released in July 2023, which led to touring with The 502s and Houndmouth, as well as touring throughout North America in support of their album release. They saw great radio support at Americana radio, notably with in-studio visits to WCBE/Columbus and WUMB/Boston. Oliver Hazard are on their way to be staples in the indie-folk genre, alongside contemporaries The 502s and Noah Kahan. "Honey I’m Hardly" revels in the subtleties of love, the tiny sparks that ignite our hearts. It's about plunging headlong into affection, yet wrestling with the doubt of mutual feeling. It's a sing-along reminiscent of warm summer nights, wrapped in nostalgia.
