OLI BROWN & THE DEAD COLLECTIVE SHARE NEW INSTALLMENT IN EP TRILOGY

‘EPILOGUE’ RELEASE COMES AHEAD OF IMMINENT UK TOUR DATES

Oli Brown & The Dead Collective get set to embark on their first headline tour of the UK throughout April 2024. In anticipation of the shows, this week the band have releases a new EP entitled Epilogue (29th March)

Epilogue is the third in a series of EPs released by Oli Brown & the Dead Collective (following 2023’s Prelude and Prologue). The four tracks showcase the prodigious talents of Oli and his band. Evocative emotional vocals overlay beautiful arrangements. Vocally reminiscent of the likes of Jeff Buckley, Chris Cornell and Shannon Hoon. The musical references are numerous and deep – a mash of atmospheric rock, alternative rock, blues, soul and roots make Oli Brown & The Dead Collective sound wonderfully fresh and remarkable.

From the beautiful acoustic opener ‘Another Day Lost‘ (Solitude Sessions) through to the bombast of ‘Home Sweet Home‘, from the to evocative gospel style chorus of ‘I Won’t Leave‘ to the electric version of ‘Another Day Lost‘,

Oli was initially recognized as a Blues Musician, winning several awards as Best Guitarist, Best Band, Best Singer at the British Blues Awards. Through his solo career he toured and supported artists such as Jeff Beck, Joe Satriani, John Mayall and Buddy Guy.

Craving a change in musical direction and a departure from his roots, Oli formed the rock band RavenEye. Starting out with a 5 track EP that caught the attention of Slash who proceeded to bring the band on tour through Europe & USA. The band went on to release their debut album ‘NOVA’ and took their incendiary live headline show across USA, UK & Europe and South America. A European tour with KISS helped cement the band’s footprint in Europe, along with tours with Aerosmith, The Darkness, Halestorm, Blues Pills and major UK, US & European Festivals including Reading & Leeds, Ramblin’ Man, Aftershock, Louder Than Life.

Oli used the time during the worldwide lockdown to reconnect with his own songwriting and lyrics, resulting in the recording of a stunning new studio album with undeniable songs. It all comes from a unique and honest place, the perfect blend of Oli’s origins and distinctive alternative roots sound.. Thus begins the next chapter, Oli Brown & The Dead Collective.
