David & Olivia Bio Official Website: www.DAVIDandOLIVIA.com Twitter: @DAVIDandOLIVIA YouTube: /DAVIDandOLIVIAmusic Instagram: @DAVIDandOLIVIA Facebook: /DAVIDandOLIVIAmusic “…unique blend of melancholy blues and country… their sound is unmistakably their own.” – AOL MUSIC’s The Boot (US) “Coastal Americana… mesmerizing… deep… soulful…” – Southern Distinction Magazine (US) “…blown away by the chemistry onstage – it was something you just couldn’t take your eyes off of.” – Pens Eye View (US) David & Olivia are an Americana duo out of Huntington Beach, CA. Upon meeting each other one summer night in 2011, the two felt an instant musical chemistry that would blossom before captivated audiences in vineyards along the California coast. In 2013, they showcased their unique blend of melancholy blues and country sweetness in their debut EP, "On the Sea." The EP was heralded by press in both, the US and UK, and the duo toured relentlessly coast-to-coast from New York City listening rooms and Boston pubs to Napa Valley wineries and Los Angeles clubs, amassing over 160 performances in 2013 alone. In a review of a recent live show, LA's modern rock radio station, 106.7 KROQ, declared that David & Olivia were, "...effervescent... Their energy was a mixture of vaudevillian and romantic; something right out of an old Western comedy." In September 2014, David & Olivia released their first single for London Tone Music as part of their 52x52 label launch called The Ballad of Rose, a stunningly beautiful folk/Americana ballad. A video of the track was released this summer. Exactly a year later, D&O’s second single for LTM is being released. The song, Sassafras, is a rollicking, Americana/Country tune that David wrote while on an East Coast tour last year. David explains further, “The name comes from this bit of river just off the Chesapeake in Maryland/Delaware. I had a day off between performances and I spent it disconnecting from technology and really connecting with my family and the natural world around me. We swam, we laughed, we jumped and splashed like little kids from docks into the water. The normal day-to-day busy-ness of my life faded away and I slowed down. I started thinking about how connected to technology my generation had become and how we all need to disconnect and slow down for a bit... simplify. So, I penned this little story of rebellion, perseverance and independence. It has become my daily mantra.” Song Written by David ML Rosales Produced, Engineered and Mixed by Eric Lilavois Assistant Engineers: Andrew Nassih Vocals: Guitar: David Rosales Vocals: Olivia May Pedal Steel: Jeremy Long Upright Bass: Robert Bowman Drums, Percussion: Tom Plumb Graphic Design by Jessica Lynne Photography by Brandin Rackley For more info: Jeff Heiman, jeffheiman@londontonemusic.com, (253) 279-5886 Jeff Ross, jeffross@londontonemusic.com, (425) 822-5070 London Tone Music http://www.londontonemusic.com
