Every penny he earned went to music or his gas tank. In his mid teens, he picked up the guitar and began teaching himself how to play. We wrote thoughts down – words - words that meant something. This is how it all began for Derek. He also began hosting an open mic in his community and playing his own material. Before he knew it, he became part of a trio (2 guitars and bass). They soon began doing shows outside their state. This entire experience both professional and personal developed into stories that he would eventually tell through his music. His styles of music that he writes are gems - beautiful from concept through delivery.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Calibri;">“King of the Anthill” EP was Derek’s first release. Two particular songs “I’m Tryin’” and “Let’s Melt It Away” gives a clear vision as to Derek’s thought processes, his inner vision and the eloquent way he chose to deliver his story. These two songs give us the true Derek Olson.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Calibri;">“I’m Tryin’” simply means just be who you are. To Derek it is about being an artist <em>“in an over populated sea of funky fish”, </em>as he puts it. To me it separates him from the ordinary and gives him a status of a uniqueness that is hard to describe. The story is that you do not have to look long or far to find that gem. One of many highlights in this particular song is his harmonica playing that carries a voice of its own. It gives this song depth and substance. Sung to perfection with emotion, Derek takes you to a place that most do not travel with wisdom that is realized in the end. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Calibri;">“Let’s Melt It Away” is keeping it simple. This song is about the balance needed in keeping a relationship healthy and sometimes keeping things simple is just what you need. As Derek states, “<em>the song has a diary-like soliloquy that I improvised at the studio. That helps build the song and also gives it a personal context</em>.”</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Both songs are beautiful in their simplistic yet impactful way. The entire EP contains seven songs and runs a half-hour. As they say, it is not the length of time that counts but the quality that matters. In Derek’s case, nothing could be truer. </span></p><div><p><em><span style="font-family: Calibri;">“I have never played music to make money off of it or to be famous. It is just something I love, though I also realize that in a today’s music scene there are opportunities that could take me somewhere as well. I would like to think that my music speaks for itself and to also note that this is my first undertaking as an Indie artist; I am open to any possible avenue to spread my music.”</span></em></p></div><p><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Derek’s music speaks for us all and it speaks for itself loud and clear. His music is relatable, thought provoking and is a ‘must buy’ in my book. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Derek Olson played a 2-hour acoustic show for over 2,000 people at a summer-time boat bash hosted by Miller Lite on Castle Rock Lake in Wisconsin. He also played live for a set with Robert Randolph and the Family Band at the Barrymore Theatre in Madison, Wisconsin. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Derek will be playing venues in St. Paul and other cities in Minnesota as well as some local clubs. He is travelling around spreading his music and his joy.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;">So, basically I'm a new kid on the block. I've been around the block a few times as of lately, but nobody's really noticed me or my message (and that's to be expected). In my short 4-year span of teaching myself how to play guitar and developing my own style and writing techniques, I've learned a lot. I know what it's like to be dirt poor, but still getting by; I know what it's like to have invested my passion, time and love into the wrong places; and I know that I have always thought of my music as simple conversation. If you can relate, that's what matters most to me as an artist.. It surely isn't the money (I've found a day job for that), and I don't know if I would ever personally wish to be famous- instead, what I want most is just to have a conversation with you, where, instead of talking, I've recorded a little ditty for ya. Just like conversation, though, the mere fact that I can speak (or sing in this case) doesn't make me worth listening to. I've learned most of my lessons the hard way, so it always seemed natural to me that getting my music out there would be much the same in method.. I'm all Indie, and I'm not going to lie- I write and sing for <em>me.</em> Now, call me selfish, but that's not really the case because in doing so, I give a piece of myself to you. What you do with that, my song, is your decision.. If I collect figurative dust in your iTunes, fine; if I'm in your Top Plays, thank you. All forms of help, support, and love both big and small are always appreciated on my end and it's nice to know that open ears can still be connected to open minds. It's nice to meet you, and I'm not too hard to find if you want a real 1-on-1 conversation.</span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;">Best,</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;">Derek Olson</span></p>
