Raised under the wide open skies of the West and transplanted into the land of “three chords and the truth,” Olivia Rudeen writes songs that tell stories about life from a lonesome bird’s-eye view. The daughter of two writers, her love affair with words began at an early age. Inspired as much by Cormac McCarthy as Sheryl Crow, Rudeen writes observational and poignant lyrics, odes to the lonely that hangs just outside the halo of the headlights on a long drive home, the melancholy oil spill rainbow on an empty corner sidewalk, the ghost of a goodbye floating in the radio static, the heartache and beauty of moments lived, loved, and lost.
Originally from Denver, CO, Olivia performs all over the US and is a regular at the world famous Bluebird Cafe in Nashville, TN. Over the years, she has been fortunate enough to share the stage with incredible artists such as Ashley McBryde, Madi Diaz, Courtyard Hounds, and DeVotchKa, among many others.
Between tour dates, Olivia writes songs in her home base of Nashville with and for other artists. Her songs have been released by Reba McEntire (“Seven Minutes in Heaven”) and Ashley McBryde (“The Jacket”), among many other artists, and have been streamed over 19 million times worldwide.
Olivia's music has also been featured prominently in film and television. Her co-written song "As The Crow Flies," was performed on season 5 of the hit CMT show Nashville and her songs have been featured on ABC Family’s The Vineyard and Jane By Design.
Olivia's most recent single “Radio Star" - produced by Jake Finch (Boygenius, Ashe, Lucy Dacus, Suki Waterhouse) - is available for download and streaming on all digital music platforms.
