About
For the past two years, singer-songwriter Oliver Carter has been wowing audiences with his unique blend of guitar-driven blues, folk, and alternative country. If you’ve witnessed a packed bar singing along to infectious, hook-driven originals like “Ducks” or “Heat (Ain’t No Rest in a Restaurant)", then you’ll understand why he’s been hailed as one of the brightest stars on the Halifax scene.
After growing up in Toronto and exploring sound design in Montreal, Oliver Carter now lives on the south shore of Nova Scotia. His demo album,“Rural Android”, draws on these experiences, exploring how people are shaped by land and sea. He is currently completing an album of interlinked songs in the spirit of Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, and Billy Bragg, harking back to a time when music mattered.
Now, Oliver Carter is ready to take his captivating brand of music to new listeners. He’s hitting the road in 2026. Whether performing solo or fronting a revolving cast of local musicians - The Ducks - Oliver Carter’s stellar performances, song-writing, storytelling, and musicianship will live on with audiences long after the night has ended.
