Bio



""Melodic folk with an emotional appeal which draws listeners into their own inner workings" - Hartley

Alternative acoustic folk singer-songwriter Olly Knox was drawn towards songwriting from an early age, performing original material in cafes solo. In 2004 he formed The Olly Knox Experiment, a two piece original folk band, with percussionist Patrick Brennan in Gisborne. They became known for their peaceful, laid back sound playing at The Sandbar in Wainui Beach, and in July 2005 the garage studio album "Themes" was recorded and released unmastered in July 2005 under Gisborne sound engineer Luke Porter's label Mutant Frog Records.

An introspective journey through past experiences laced with the mystical and divine, the ambient acoustic drives pave the way for the searching and soulful meaning behind the songs.

In the years following, Knox travelled through parts of Australia, the United Kingdom, and western Canada, with an acoustic guitar and continued to play and spread his message through his music.

Returning to NZ in April 2008, an initial move back to his home town Carterton saw a reunification of the original band. However a subsequent move to Norhland brought him into contact with drum and bass engineer Stu Wordsworth who eventually came to master the long-kept songs of "Themes", and with some earlier recordings produce The Unified Theory Of Existance, a cut back selection of recordings.

Now calling home the small Northland town of Dargaville, Knox has been working on new material and performing in small acts locally and nationally, touring NZ in March with German flautist Juliane Wolf-Neikisch, and forming alt-folk-rock group The Plectrum Void in Baylys Beach on the West Coast.
