A key player in the new wave of contemporary folk singers, Olivia Klugman is an independent singer/songwriter with a rare vocal gift. Self-styled after genre icons like Joni Mitchell and Brandi Carlile, Olivia is known for their beautiful tone and vividly honest storytelling. Their sound is reminiscent of the Golden Age of American Folk Music, but with a uniquely modern lyrical sensibility. Following the success of their Tiktok video previews, Olivia released a series of new singles in the Spring and Summer of 2021. These songs chronicle Olivia's struggle to make sense of a senseless world and reflects their experience with queer identity, ambivalence in romantic relationships, and the struggle to establish adulthood in unprecedented times. Olivia plans to release their single "Self Help" on February 4, 2022, a bittersweet tear-jerker about personal growth. Olivia has shared their music in some Portland's most iconic venues including an opening slot for Noah Kahan at the Crystal Ballroom, support for Haley Johnsen at the Doug Fir Lounge, and headline shows at Alberta Street Pub and Laurelthirst Pub. In addition, Olivia co-headlined the 1st annual Willamette Fest, a one-day music and arts festival that took place in West Linn's Willamette Park. Outside of Oregon, Olivia performed at New York City's historic Rockwood Music Hall the Limelight Hotel in Sun Valley, Idaho, and sold out a 40 person house concert in San Francisco. Since moving to Los Angeles in October, Olivia headined LA's queer expression venue, Junior High, joined a lineup of up and coming artists at an Adults Only "Breaking Sound" event, and performed at West Hollywood's Bar Lubitsch. In the near future, Olivia hopes to join as a support act on a larger national tour. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Olivia+Klugman">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
