Coming out of Wellington The Thomas Oliver Band is not like any band you've seen before, especially in New Zealand. Although Thomas Oliver's writing style is distinctive and unique, the band's sound encompasses music as a whole, and evades generic refinement. Their live shows are a celebration of music and a dynamic journey through the integrity of blues music, the energy of rock music, the honesty of folk music, the subtlety of jazz music, and an essence that is all their own. This is Aotearoa music like you haven't heard before.
Oliver says he "strive(s) to find the perfect balance between accessibility and musical progression, and concrete and improvised ideas." Thomas believes that "because people are increasingly expanding their musical tastes, due largely to the digital music revolution, crowds are becoming captivated by the diversity and musical direction of the live shows..."
