Artist History Brett Oliver is 21 years old. He is a native of Wellington, Ohio, but resides in Columbus, Ohio for the time being. Wellington is the home to such artists as Will Caywood, and J.T. Daly of the group For All The Drifters. Brett grew up around music, both of his parents being big music fans. Music continued to be a big part of his life through high school. He loved to go see his friends in the band JUStEN play at local venues, later singing in his own band,(all though not very well) Three Penny Opera. He was a manager at The Record Exchange and a flyer boy for Belkin Productions for many years. Brett records all his songs on his four-track, usally with one or two other artists. At this point in time Brett is still looking for a new guitarist. The ten songs on A Heart is a Terriable Thing to Have, are done with his old roomate Kieth Wacker.
