Artist History In November of 1999, while writing and recording Dogwood's (Tooth and Nail) 5th studio album, guitarist/songwriter Sean O'Donnell had the inspiration to write music that was a far cry from the somewhat predictable and uninspiring halls of punk rock. With a handful of new songs and a couple of buddies for a band, Reeve Oliver was born as the side project that would soon become more. After dabbling with shows and continuing to write and record new music for Reeve Oliver, O'Donnell realized that his true passion rested in the future of his new band. He left Dogwood in the fall of 2001 to pursue Reeve full time hoping to move indie rock away from the obvious and towards the ingenious.
