Real Music!
Real Music VOL 3 will be release June 7th, join us for a release party & benefit: Real Music Vol 3 Party
Oliver’s Markets proudly presentsour Real Music CD VOL I, II & III, featuring bands and musicians from Sonoma County. Real Music was born from our desire to play original Sonoma County music over our store public address systems to delight and entertain our shoppers. Our search for local content connected us with a miraculous local music community that embraced our interest and inspired this compilation. Just as it is with food, we believe local music is valuable, compelling and intrinsically relevant to our lives. Local musicians draw from the experience of living here and their music reflects the diversity and uniqueness of life in Sonoma County.
We have compiled over six hours of original music written, performed and generously donated by 66 Sonoma County artists to benefit the Redwood Empire Food Bank. While certainly not comprehensive, we believe this collection represents a good sampling of the amazing music that is being created and performed right here in our backyard everyday. We hope you enjoy it!
We’d like to thank all of the artists featured in this CD for their generous support of this project and the Redwood Empire food Bank. Special thanks to Frank Hayhurst, Blair Hardman, Prairie Sun Recording, Doug Jayne at the Last Record Store, and the KRSH 95.9fm whose hard work and deep rooted connections to Sonoma County music made this CD possible.

Gatorbeat
Gator Beat continues to stun its audiences with versatility uncommon in this genre.

WIth four songs placed in the upcoming Hollywood film "Divorce Invitation" debuting in March at the "Cannes Film Festival", they are definitely on the rise and gaining attention!
Hadley Hill
"With songs ranging from 2:20 to 7:50 and dynamics to match, Sonoma County indie-rockers Hadley Hill explore the expanse of human emotion on their debut album, "Fall." The album features beautiful tones of a Wurlitzer electric piano, songs built with perfectly placed guitars, catchy synthesizers, bootyshaking bass, relentless pounding drums and powerful vocals. Think Radiohead meets Wilco at a Cure concert in Seattle. The ambitious indie rock quintet includes former members of Urine Love, Caveat and Allez-Cuisine!, some abandoning their former genres for new, more reflective music. "I was in a punk band for a long time," says singer Bryan Haven. "But I've always wanted to do something like this. I've been writing songs that need more than power chords to tell their stories. There's still that raw rock coming through, but it's balanced with a softer side that feels like it can just explode at any moment."
Hellhounds
The Hellhounds, comprised of"Dave"Shuv"Chavoya (harp), Phil Ajioka (lead and slide guitar, and vocals), Allen McDaniel (drummer & rhythm master),and Bill Wolfe, (bass & vocals) have become the gritty leading edge of the Sonoma County blues scene over the past 20 years.
