Since the release his 2010 album “Heads I Win Tails You Lose”, Oli has been almost constantly on the road with tours across Europe, America, Canada and New Zealand.
The album was produced by Mike Vernon (Fleetwood Mac, Eric Clapton), who came out of retirement especially to work with Oli, after hearing his debut album, “Open Road”.
Upon release, “Heads I Win Tails You Lose” garnered much critical acclaim, with Mojo and Classic Rock naming the album as their #4 and #3 Blues albums of 2010 respectfully.
Following the dates with John Mayall, Oli will be heading into the studio to work on an as-yet-untitled new album, set for an April 2012 release to coincide with the UK tour.
