About this Event
Equal parts vulnerable and powerful, ebullient and heartbreaking, gentle and cynical, Olive Klug refuses to be put in a box. Working out who you are in front of an ever-growing audience is no small task, but one the Portland-bred, Nashville-based songwriter is always up for. The singer graduated with a liberal arts degree shortly before the 2020 pandemic derailed their plans of a career in social work. Though they’d self-released the 2019 EP “Fire Alarm” from a childhood friend’s bedroom, Olive had previously categorized their music as either a hobby or a pipe dream. However, when Olive was laid off of a teaching job in 2020, they decided to commit themselves fully to an ever-growing online community. Olive can’t help but be unapologetically themselves, something their community of fans appreciate most about them. From a small bedroom in Portland, Olive’s audience grew alongside them as they wrote new songs, discovered their identity, moved to Los Angeles, started touring, and released their debut LP “Don’t You Dare Make Me Jaded” all in real time. Through this no-holds-barred documentation of the struggles of their early adulthood, Klug embraces all their inner contradictions with reckless abandon.
