"Thomas Oliver is an artist whose musical accolades venture deep into places where most singer-songwriters would never be sited. Although perhaps best known for his flagship band, The Thomas Oliver Band, whose debut album "Baby, I'll Play" was awarded "iTunes Best Blues & Roots Album of 2011", Thomas is also internationally recognised as a leading player of the Weissenborn lap-slide guitar. In May, 2013, Thomas will release the world's first full-length, all instrumental, all Weissenborn album, titled "Beneath The Weissenborn".
His solo acoustic performances are dynamic, compelling and unique, and meld Roots, Rock and Blues. Thomas has supported a legion of distinguished artists including Eric Clapton, Joe Cocker, George Thorogood, Xavier Rudd, Tom Jones, Cold Chisel, Fat Freddy's Drop and Gin Wigmore, and The T.O.B.'s recent summer tour with Jimmy Barnes saw Thomas personally invited to play his signature lap steel with Jimmy Barnes himself.
Thomas has also developed a reputation as a vocalist in the realm of Drum & Bass, having collaborated with a number of international and local producers, including Black Sun Empire, Rido, Concord Dawn, Trei and State Of Mind, and boasting releases on prestigious labels, including Goldie's own Metalheadz."
