Oliver Hazard's Mike Belazis - Loudest Three Piece You’ve Ever Heard

Americana Curious

LOUDEST THREE PIECE YOU'VE EVER HEARD

Get inspired by Mike Belazis from the incredible band OLIVER HAZARD…..

They are a Waterville, OH indie-folk trio and it's the digital age’s version of classic band myth making.

One member of the band came home to Ohio after leading camping trips in California and decided to make an album with two childhood friends.

They won a Facebook raffle to record one song at a studio. Instead, they played their whole album straight through once, resulting in their debut LP 34 N River (2018)

The band consists of ​​Michael Belazis (vocals, guitar), Nate Miner (vocals, keys) and Devin East (vocals, guitar) – all singers, songwriters and multi-instrumentalists, who share an organic connection in the craft — sensibilities that yield music that's harmonic, haunting and also ambitious and surprising.
