Miss Olivia & the Interlopers are known for their eclectic fusion of soul, blues, jazz, and rock. Led by the powerhouse vocals of Olivia Reardon, their sound is both nostalgic and refreshingly unique, pulling inspiration from legends like Erykah Badu, Amy Winehouse, and The Black Crowes. With David Hostetler on bass, David Valencia on guitar, and Daniel Thomas on drums, the band combines technical precision with heartfelt artistry, earning accolades such as “Best Musical Act” in Tucson Weekly for multiple years.
The band’s journey began when Miss Olivia moved to Tucson after years of performing alongside notable musicians, including members of Guns N’ Roses, in Los Angeles. The synergy between Olivia and the Interlopers was immediate, and their collective influences—ranging from gospel and funk to R&B and country—breathed life into a unique soundscape. Their music often channels themes of love, resilience, and joy, as seen in songs like “Leaving You Behind” and “Blacklisted” from their EP, Little Stories, recorded at WaveLab Studios.
