Oliver Hazard @ FREMONT ABBEY

The Crocodile & Abbey Arts present:

Few people have heard of Waterville, Ohio, a small, rust-belt town along the Maumee River, but it’s where Oliver Hazard learned how to make music by paying attention. The indie-folk trio—Michael Belazis (vocals, guitar), Devin East (electric guitar), and Nate Miner (keys), built their audience deliberately, performing in more than a hundred living rooms across the United States, building a following one conversation at a time. That same spirit carries through everything they do, from hosting their own hometown music festival, Oliver Hazard Day, to quietly finding themselves on festival bills at Newport Folk Festival, Austin City Limits, and Bonnaroo. They’ve shared the road with bands like Caamp, Houndmouth, The War and Treaty, and The 502s, recorded with producer Jacquire King (Zach Bryan, Kings of Leon, Tom Waits), and watched their songs travel farther than they ever expected, reaching millions of listeners on Spotify. Across releases including 34 N River, The Flood, Oliver Hazard, and Raindrop River, the band keeps returning to the same place, writing songs shaped by their hometown. At their essence, Oliver Hazard is indie-folk seemingly meant to be accidentally discovered, at a bar somewhere in the Midwest, sung by three earnest, harmonizing musicians, who make you turn your head and feel like not giving up just yet.
