Oliver Pigott. He is all at once a powerful singer, timeless songwriter and magnetic, explosive performer. Standing 6 foot 2 inches with a crop of outrageously wild hair, Oliver´s presence commands your attention. What most people recognize instantly is the kid´s astounding lyrical abilities. As one admirer from Los Angeles explained, ´´It´s almost as if Oliver has spent his young life on a train and seen the world in all its joy, pain, benevolence, cruelty and social injustice.´´ The tunes, too, speak of a world-weary soul, resulting in a wonderful melodic mix of blues, country, folk and rock ´n´ roll. After the passing of his father, a blues harmonica player, Oliver picked up the instrument. He was twelve. He began to perform in bars along the Algarve in Portugal. Returning to Toronto, Canada, Oliver gathered a passionate legion of fans with his band ´´Laughing Sam´s Dice´´, playing such legendary clubs as The El Mocambo and The Opera House. His following grew ever stronger. Now based in London, UK and a ubiquitous presence in clubs across the country, the rest of the world is about to discover what his many admirers already know. In the words of one devoted Pigott concertgoer, ´´Oliver picks up that guitar and steps up to the microphone like he´s coming home. I´ve seen him so many times because he´s twenty feet tall onstage and I can´t look away.´´
