David Olney, Sergio Webb, & Todd Mathis
"Olney's deep, hard-nosed voice remains as clear and unforgiving as a punch to the face, and, as always, it's his songs of love, with their focus on tenderness and redemption, that do the most lasting damage." ( The Nashville Scene )
Longtime touring and recording artist DAVID OLNEY is well-known for his songwriting and live performances packed with such intensity it leaves listeners with an experience to remember and has other prominent artists jockeying to record his songs. His intelligent compositions have been cut by Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt, Del McCoury, Tim O'Brien, Slaid Cleaves, Dale Ann Bradley, Ann Rabson, Kane/Welch/Kaplin and others.
DAVID OLNEY joined forces on-stage with multi-instrumentalist SERGIO WEBB in 2007 to present a one-of-a-kind show that features classic Vaudevillian moments coupled with musical and lyrical acrobatics. The sartorially splendid duo is always on tour, in the US and overseas. David's first installment of his new series of thematic mini-albums - "David Olney Presents: FILM NOIR" (Deadbeet Records) - earned a spot on the Philadelphia City Paper Top 10 Roots Albums of 2011, citing, "these dark stories and their perfect small jewels of cool jazz must be honored for offering fascinating listening, both lyrically and musically."
His current mini-album - "The Stone" - was released earlier this year and focuses on a fresh telling of the Easter story from varying points of view. A third thematic CD entitled "Robbery &; Murder" is planned for a late 2012 release. Keeping it current and keeping up with fans, David broadcasts every Tuesday on his website with his "You Never Know" video shorts - featuring the story behind a song and it's performance along with other personal observations - in addition to sharing his other music videos and stellar classic poetry recitations ("The Rime of The Ancient Mariner" in seven parts!) on YouTube.
"In the tradition of Johnny Cash and Tom Waits, Olney has become A PIONEER OF THE AMERICANA MUSIC SCENE." ( The San Francisco Chronicle )
"This was a ROOTS/AMERICANA DREAM TEAM that spoiled us rotten. RIVETING and UNFORGETTABLE." ( Americana-UK.com )
"Olney stands out LIKE A JALAPENO IN A BOWL OF VANILLA PUDDING." ( Houston Press )
"A PERFORMANCE THAT BORDERS AT TIMES ON THE ORCHESTRAL.... A show PACKED WITH INCIDENT, amusement, contrast and fine, fine songsmithery." ( The Herald - Scotland )
