Oliver Anthony Music @ The Vermont State Fair

Gates open @ 7PM, Showtime @ 8PM

 

Oliver Anthony Music’s passionate voice, featuring a unique and emotional rasp shaped by his personal battles, captures the despair of those living without hope, especially those who live in small-town or rural America. With lyrics that “give a voice to the feelings of people who often get left out of popular discourse and pop culture” (N PR), Oliver Anthony became the first artist in history to debut at No. One on the Billboard charts without previously having a song on the charts with his hit song “Rich Men North of Richmond.”

The song has been streamed more than 153 million times on YouTube and has tallied more than 433 million across all streaming platforms. He is the first living male songwriter to chart 13 songs simultaneously in Billboard ‘s Top 50 Digital Song Sales. Five of his other songs have made iTunes’ Top 10, including “Ain’t Got a Dollar,” which also claimed the No. One spot on Spotify’s Viral 50 list.

In April 2024, he released his first studio album, Hymnal Of A Troubled Man’s Mind; the dynamic 10-song collection “hits on an emotional, nostalgic musing of childhood joy compared to adulthood strife. These ideas expound on facets of human existence untouched by the political realm, no matter which camp you find yourself on” (American Songwriter). Produced by Grammy winner Dave Cobb, the album was praised by fans and critics for its “homespun sound” that shines light on “his grainy, soulful vocal with acoustic guitars, bass and fiddle” (Billboard).
