About Olivia Rudeen
Since the age of 12 Olivia has been performing and writing music. She spent the past 5 years as the lead singer/guitarist/manager of Denver-based alternative rock quartet, The Panic. The Panic achieved local success as an opener for hometown favorites such as DeVotchKa, The Autumn Film, Baji, Air Dubai, and Angie Stevens & The Beautiful Wreck. Most recently, before going on hiatus, The Panic released their debut on Threeto5Records, the Blow Apart The Avenue EP, which is available on iTunes. Olivia's love of music goes back to the nights when her father used to sing her to sleep with his own personal brand of lullabies by The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Simon & Garfunkel, and James Taylor. The first guitar she picked up was her mother's. Her grandmother was part of a 1950's vocal trio called The Musettes. This constant exposure to music helped Olivia find her own voice. Olivia has used this voice to contribute vocals to collaborations in a wide variety of genres, including a country/rock project by Prav Grant, and the track "Not Impressed" off of Denver rock/hip-hop duo Filthy T's album "Get Filthy" (the track can be heard at myspace.com/filthydenver). Now, as a singer/songwriter based in Denver, CO, Olivia reaches out to music fans with her emotional and intelligent songwriting and a unique voice. Her brand of upbeat Americana encompasses her love of a huge variety of genres, with influences ranging from country and pop, to blues and rock, to hip-hop and reggae. In 2010, Olivia recorded and self-released her debut solo EP, Until Now. This Americana/folk rock record was produced by Justin Peacock and recorded in Colorado at The Hook Factory and Monument Sound. The disc features five original songs with performances from some of Colorado's best musicians. Until Now is available on iTunes.
