Oliver Hazard — live event
The indie folk band created its own festival in its hometown of Waterville, Ohio, and embarked on a series of “Living Room Sessions” to tour through the United States. Now the band is adding a trip to the farthest reaches of the nation to its musical outreach. After a Thursday show at 49th State Brewing, Oliver Hazard heads to Hope for a pair of shows over the weekend at Creekbend Cafe. Singer-guitarist Mike Belazis, Devin East (vocals/guitar) and Nate Miner (vocals/keyboards) were all around 28 years old when they got serious about launching the band. “We weren’t young people,” Belazis said. “We all quit our jobs to do something that was kind of crazy. And with that, we made a really conscious decision not to rely on this old model of trying to be a musician.” The Living Room Sessions were developed as a model that fits the band’s sound — harmony-driven with instrumental ebb and flow. The concept took off and carried the band to success somewhat on word of mouth, with the hope of turning a majority of the small crowds into fans.
