Olive Mae is a folk/ country singer songwriter from a small town in the southwest of WA. After being inspired by artists such as Paul Kelly, The Waifs and Missy Higgins, she requested a guitar for her 18th birthday and promptly taught herself how to play it. She then started writing her own songs and soon after got a band together and started playing some local venues in her hometown. Things on the musical front slowed quite a bit after the arrival of her two sons in her early twenties and it wasn’t until 2019 that Olive picked up the guitar and started writing songs again. After another break during COVID, she was ready to hit the local music scene with a bang. Off the back of a dual 2023 WAM Song of the Year nomination (Country & Outstanding Regional), with her song “Girls Like You” she set out on a massive east coast road trip with her family in late August 2023. She has played gigs in every state since and is looking forward to playing Tamworth Country Music Festival and Agnes Blues and Roots Festival before heading back to WA and releasing her debut EP.
