This young American just burnt the entire music industry establishment to the ground! "Me and this guy who shreds met 3 weeks ago and this is the 3rd time we have played live together."🤯
“…Grankids sell the ground and two weeks later the tress come down”; I see this around me every single day. I live in a (former) farm community in which the farms are turning into developments and the people who crapped all over the cities are escaping the work of their hands to “live in the country”, and they’re building another city that they will surely turn into something none of us will recognize. The municipalities tax the land so bad the people have to sell it, then developers swarm in like a pack of wolves with the machines and trucks and soon what was is no more.
Circa 1985 Rural Vermont: I remember as a teenager all the elders talking about how the “flat landers” were going to turn the state into exactly what “they” all proclaimed to be escaping…the city. I left for the service @ 17 yrs old to return to find…in a few short years everything changed. Just as the “old hippies” predicted, my own parents included! Now I’m an “old hippie”, looking at the state I grew up in, the tradition, the old ways that I grew up with are…gone. I can’t get dental care as I battle this tooth but the state will pay for me to change my “sexual orientation”? Housing? Forget about it. You gotta have $$$ to afford such luxuries as dental care & affordable housing in Vermont. What was “The Green Mountain State”, where tradition and history ran deep is now a hollowed out and cold place. With big city problems hidden within the rural backroads & homes. The mountains that once offered a winters full bounty are all now posted, wired off, and not accessible. A once proud, family oriented, truly beautiful rural state now a fentanyl stained, haven for the wealthy…still turning into a little New Haven, New York, taxachusetts.
Oliver Anthony music is a cry to get help for our country. One day our country will unite, all people from different races and backgrounds... things will get very bad but it will be beautiful to see the people uniting, the people the government has been trying to separate and silence for many many years. Thank you Oliver
Oliver Anthony is speaking plain to the people... all of us. Anyone with a soul left can hear this man. Authentic, raw, and the truth! Love the guitarist- what a talent!
What's so incredibly sad, is these lyrics are so truthful in our society today! Good Lord, we've fallen so far from the foot of the cross! Close the velvet vice, Lord, Please!
Thank you for posting this officially. A young man from Farmville, VA. It's been a long time since someone from Virginia has made such an impact, maybe even back as far as Bruce Hornsby. God Bless you, Oliver, for keeping it simple. Reading from the Bible to begin your shows helps to keep things centered, focused. Thank you.
I'm not sure if you will ever see this comment, but I grabbed my wife that I love more than anything in the world and danced to the chevy 350 song right in the middle of my living room. With my kids wondering what the heck we are doing doing. Well your song is everything we are about. I hope there might be a day that I can thank you for your great music. Keep on keeping. I pray that when our father calls you up, he will say, "Great job, my faithful servent."
Joey....you rock that sum bitch like no other! My moms side of the family could all play the acoustic.....but you my man are on another level! I fell in love with OA's music the first time I heard it!! I'm glad you to found each other!! I can't wait to watch you guys in Put in Bay Ohio come August with some Jelly Roll! I've seen JR before and it was the best concert I have been to, and I've been to at least 100 in last 20 years!! Only reason I bought tickets is to come see you guys....can't wait!!

Your music is amazing, just be weary of the people that let you grow sooo fast. Our prayers are with you brother. Keep the old testament close to your heart. Love your music brother. Our prayers are with you!
My Pop died in April this year. Hard and complicated man from the hills of Western North Carolina (his people were immigrants from Europe, through Virginia). About 4 days before he left this Earth, I introduced him to Oliver Anthony’s music. I’m not sure if he listened or not, but I know if he did he would have loved his sound and taken it to Heaven with him.
I found one of your tunes in particular that I really enjoy and I enjoy all of them, but" I ain't got A Dollar but I don't need A Dime '" resonates purdy dam good, keep up the Bible teaching as well! Peace/Love /Happiness /Thank You for sharing Joey Davis in your music also! D. W. Matlock / West Texas!
Man, thank you to whoever uploaded this. I have probably replayed this video a thousand times in the last few weeks. I like to pretend it would be what Oliver's album lineup would be and it is absolutely amazing. Would buy it today.
I’m a 45 single mom, due to Cance, but you my younger friend are a intelligent and wise friend! 💯 I appreciate you and respect you, more than you even know!! Thank you friend
I'm glad to see him still in the backyard with his guitar Singing songs for an audience is great, but the art is in the raw music, additional production would detract from it
Hope these two continue together, awesome, got my tickets for his Alaska show, so excited. Absolute true raw talent, love the stories. We are all blessed to have him.
When are you coming to Dallas, Tx?? You have touched this country girls heart!! Thanks for reading the Bible on stage!! I hope you nothing but great things to come for you in the future!!
I haven’t read the Bible in a long time brother. But your posts and videos have helped me once again in my life. I’ve lost so much and so many people I love. I’ve turned to alcohol the last several months and I feel I’ve fallen down that slippery slope. But your readings and your songs .. they are helping me see things again. Thank you.
Had me at the edge of my seat the whole show. the two of you blend like a jack and coke, you guys are my new favorite band. hope I get the chance to see ya one day
Thank you for posting this, what a great show! The two of them are an awesome pair on stage, and like always, every song Oliver Anthony writes, is gold!
Dude, you are a powerhouse! You are God’s man for this time to speak to those who have ears to hear. Your songs are constantly on my mind and every time I listen to you and praying for you ❤️
