Thomas Oliver is a Wellington based
singer-songwriter, internationally recognized as one of the world’s leading
players of the Weissenborn lap-steel guitar. He is set to release his
first solo album of lyrical songs, Floating
In The Darkness on April
28th this year, featuring his Silver-Scroll award-winning hit If I Move To Mars.
Thomas released the world's first full-length, all instrumental, all
Weissenborn album in 2013, titled Beneath
The Weissenborn. The album debuted at #6 on the NZ charts,
received 5 star reviews with sold out shows across the nation.
With over two million views on his YouTube channel, Thomas has developed an
international audience from his home base in New Zealand, and has performed
throughout New Zealand, Australia, Europe and Vietnam, and has toured and
shared the stage with such legends as Joe
Cocker, Eric
Clapton and Fat
Freddy's Drop.
Floating In The
Darkness is a deep and raw, reflective body of work,
largely self-produced, written and mixed by Thomas himself, with an additional
soul-stirring collaboration with renowned producer and composer, Rhian Sheehan (Let
It Be This One), input from Grammy Award-winning mix engineer, Trina Shoemaker,
and mastering by Vlado
Meller. As a result, he sees the songs on Floating In The Darkness as
an intimate and honest reflection of himself: "a product of a whole lot of
searching for the magic zone."
"Harper fans should investigate." - New Zealand Herald
"He
joins Leo Kotke, Ry Cooder and Michael Hedges as someone who has
made buying a guitar album a must." - Stuff
