Singer-songwriter, Adele Oliver, has a knack for transcribing life into song. Raised in the storied Kimberley, her Alt-Country sound is infused with its rugged essence.
Strumming an acoustic guitar borrowed from her school in coastal Broome, the young songsmith found her voice. “I could make sense of the world through song writing and I had a perspective to share.” Fresh out of university, the Kimberley called and she listened. “I got a job in the central Kimberley town of Fitzroy Crossing and that was a pivotal time for me.”
Hosting songwriting workshops in outlying communities, Adele learned to connect with the land and its people. “I was incredibly inspired by the Martuwarra Fitzroy River, the Country, landscapes, and people of the Fitzroy Valley.” During her time in the Fitzroy Valley Adele wrote and released her Debut single ‘Don’t Take My Blues Away’ in 2019. This was followed by her Debut E.P. ‘From the River’, a collection of songs inspired by living alongside the Martuwarra Fitzroy River recorded with Pete Grandison across two locations and released in 2021.
