Miss Olivia & the Interlopers The Crowds Await

When did you first get into music? All of us started playing music as kids. Olivia and her brother played music around the house. Mike and David played in bands since High School. We all came from musical families that instilled a love for music.
What genre of music do you perform and why? We always joke that we are like a good mix-tape. At our core, we are a great rock and roll band, but we incorporate R & B, some soul, some country… you name it. Our influences come from all kinds of music, but in the end we try to make whatever style sound like us.
And why did you choose that style of music? Our music is a mishmash of styles, but at our core we are basically a rock band. We love to play live and love that feeling of a crowd feeding off your performance. Who or What inspired you to pursue a career in music? We’ve all had lots of people that inspired us, but as far as a career in music… probably just that addictive love of playing to a crowd and playing music with people you love. How has your music evolved since you first began performing/ songwriting? Hopefully your songwriting always improves the older you get and the longer you are playing together. Before COVID, we played live a lot! With that comes a cohesiveness, and an understanding of what types of songs work best with a crowd.
