OLIVE KLUG

A key player in the new wave of contemporary folk singers, Olive Klug makes earnest, queer acoustic folk music with the central goal of allowing listeners to tap into their feelings.

Their sound is reminiscent of the ‘Golden Age of American Folk Music’, but with a uniquely modern lyrical sensibility.
