Olive Sings is an acoustic duo made up of the sweet, brilliant vocal styling of Kayla Zoltak and the down home, old time sounds of Seth Gamble. Much like a prime fishing hole that is yet to be discovered Olive Sings is yet to be heard by the ears of the world.....That is until now.

indie rock for a lost soul in a new world

Brianna is a singer, songwriter, musician and producer based out of Minneapolis, MN. She has a broad and diverse musical background, and while each project has had it’s own distinct sound, Kočka is best known for her honesty through songwriting—she believes that music is a form of give and take, that lyrics and melodies are an important part of shared life, and that we use these creative spaces to engage in our humanness together. 

Brianna grew up in a suburb of the Twin Cities, teaching herself to play guitar at age twelve, and subsequently started to write songs soon thereafter. She released her first album, “Write by Night,” in 2010 under her own name. This album was a collection of songs related to the end of an important relationship in her life, and the joys of living in the Maritimes of Canada, where she lived from 2007 - 2011.

In the spring of 2011 Kočka moved back to Minneapolis and created her alter-ego, CAETANI, and released an EP of five indie-rock songs (“The Black EP”) to acclaim in the local music scene. The five song EP was an introspective look at five specific relationships in her life, each song representing a different person, including herself.

In the winter of 2012 she and a group of friends created the Psychedelic/Trip Hop group Sun Gods to Gamma Rays, and over three years released an EP (“The Water, The Wave”) and one full length album (“A Ghost to Find”), while playing extensively throughout the Twin Cities and Midwest. Each of these albums are filled with lyrics about Brianna’s divorce from organized religion, as well as a newfound look at feminism and sensuality.

Needing a break from city life, Brianna moved to an island off the east coast to work and live for ten months. While there she began playing guitar again, and out poured an album's worth of Folk/Americana songs related to the hardships of life, the realities of marriage, and living in isolation. Kocka again lives in the Twin Cities and released her second studio album, Dreamlife, on May 1, 2018 on Suntanman Records. She has since taken a more Alt-Country/Americana directions and released a new single, "Kindness," on March 20, 2019.

Kočka has played 1000+ person venues opening for big touring bands (The Cult, Marc Cohn), has sold out premier local venues in the Twin Cities, and has also opened for mid-level touring acts at First Avenue (Elliot Brood, Wintersleep). She has had her songs featured on General Hospital and 20/20. Brianna spends most of her time on the road touring, but when she is not on the road she can be found in the studio working on her own new music, singing background vocals on other musicians projects, or playing acoustic or electric guitar for other Twin Cities artists.

Stylusboy, Coventry singer-songwriter Steve Jones, creates indie folk music steeped in warm-hearted melodies and heartfelt lyrics. Influenced by cult contemporary songwriters like Anais Mitchell and John Smith as well as classic performers such as Nick Drake and Elliot Smith. Stylusboy’s songs have been described as ‘absolutely brilliant' by BBC Radio 2’s Justine Greene and Coventry Music Historian Pete Chambers said 'you just have to stop, put everything down and listen'. 

Since the release of his critically acclaimed debut album ‘Hospitality for Hope’, Stylusboy has continued to drive his songwriting and creativity with the release of several Eps, a second studio album as well as a live album recorded in a manor house deep in the Derbyshire countryside. Steve’s Fine Art background inspires the fact that all of his releases have unique handmade sleeves lovingly made by Steve himself, all part of the Stylusboy ‘handmade indie folk’ style.

Stylusboy’s sound of ‘arresting melodies and poignant lyrics’ (Right Chord Music) has received praise and accolades from the likes of Acoustic Magazine, R2 Magazine, For Folks Sake, God is in the TV as well as BBC Introducing, 6Music, Xfm and Amazing Radio. Champion of independent music, Tom Robinson from BBC 6 Music, has described Stylusboy as:

“A leading light among today’s new generation of DIY digital troubadours”

Whilst cult website God is in the TV said:

“A sound that continues to explore and advance the relationship between more traditional folk and popular music.”

Performing all over the UK including sell-out shows at Green Note in London and Warwick Arts Centre in his home city of Coventry, Stylusboy is an enchanting live performer. He has supported the likes of John Smith, Newton Faulkner, Danny and the Champions of the World, Grant-Lee Philipps, Megson and Lucy Ward. As befitting a modern-day troubadour he’s performed one-to-one shows for Emily Barker’s Folk in a Box and BBC Coventry and Warwickshire’s All the Wrong Music in all the Right Places as well as pioneering online gigs (well before Facebook live was a thing) to audiences all around the world and has played numerous house gigs. Stylusboy has shared his intimate folk music at festivals such as the BBC Introducing Stage at Wychwood Festival, Warwick Folk Festival, Mosley Folk Festival and Greenbelt Festival. The lead track from his second release Whole Picture EP became a number 1 in Indonesia with the EP later becoming ‘EP of the Year’ on music blog ‘This is a Popscene’.

In January 2020 Steve was part of Tedx Coventry, opening the event with two of his songs and sharing some thoughts around holding on to hope in difficult times. Through Coventry City of Culture 2021 Steve has worked on a number of projects. He was commissioned to write a micro song about Article 25 from the Universal Human Rights through the Humans of Cov Project, his piece went on to be used in the national Fly the Flag project, ran by Amnesty International, Tate Modern and the National Theatre. Reform the Norm - The Story of Us, a project working with marginalised individuals, invited Steve to work on a song with one of the participants about her experiences of mental health. The Cov Culture Show Windows Project commissioned Steve to create a song inspired by of the artworks on display, which was then shared through the Smartify virtual tour app.

Most recently, Steve has been selected a one of the Community Connectors for Coventry City of Culture 2021 where he will be working with the charity Good Neighbours who support lonely and isolated over 50s. Steve will be visiting some of these people and will create a collection of songs based on their stories which will then be shared at an event where people can gather and enjoy the joy of community and music.
