 Get the Flash Player to see these images.
In 2006 Oli Brown was told by Carl Gustafson from the American Blues band Blinddog Smokin'' that he should form his own band in his own name, this was the birth of The Oli Brown Band.
Towards the end of 2006, whilst playing at jam sessions in Norwich, Oli met drummer Simon Dring whom he really admired and asked if he would be prepared to join the band. Oli's next task was to find a bass player. Luckily, Simon knew of a talented bassist and recommended that Oli give Fred Hollis a call. January 2007 saw Oli, Simon and Fred start rehearsals, and March 1 saw The Oli Brown Band perform their first gig at The Walnut Tree Shades in Norwich.
Since that first gig, the band has played up and down the country. One of the highlights was recording a live session for BBC Radio 2 (at Maida Vale studios) for the Paul Jones Blues Show which was transmitted 14 May 2007. Other highlights include supporting acts like Walter Trout, Aynsley Lister, Devon Allman, Dr Feelgood, Ian Parker and performances for BBC Radio Suffolk, Radio Norfolk and Radio Cambridgeshire.
2008 is shaping up to be another exciting and extremely busy year for the band, with the release of their first full-length studio album, a European tour, American appearances and of course gigs throughout the UK.
