MARIA OLIVERO Singer/songwriter

Maria Olivero is an italian singer/songwriter and also plays guitar,

keyboards, harmonica and dulcimer.

She collaborates with the English writer Matt Lindsay; Maria named her Band

“The Mad Rebels”, dedicated to Rebel Rebel by David Bowie.

her voice is warm, strong and mellow … her guitar is pulsates with a great sense of rhythm, her shows are powerful, dynamic, with an enthralling repertoire of rock, her original songs and also a very well-kept selection of covers which have meant so much to her over the years;

In the past she has had many different live-experiences… blues/rock, country/folk/rock (inspired by Sandy Denny-Fairport Convention) …

She worked in London with Matt Lindsay, she had performance in many places in and out of Italy, in many festivals, club and prestigious theatres, like The Olimpic Theatre in Rome, the Donizetti in Bergamo, the Lingotto in Tourin,.. her norvegian trips led her to a succession of very good concerts like Bolgen in Larvik ("Don’t you dare miss It" Tour 2011 with the Bobband) and recently to the Gule Galleriet in Stavern with Roy Einar Dreng.

Maria was raised in a small town in Italy, by a family very much interested in art, music and cinema. Her mother is a pianist and her father is a photographer. This early exposure to the arts provided Maria the opportunity to hear many different artists, many different styles... When she was 13 She wrote her first songs with her white Washburn guitar;

Late in 2005, Maria met English writer Matt Lindsay. She considers this a very fortuitous meeting that has enabled her to write music and sing

with a renewed inspiration.

In 2006 and 2007, she worked to record over 50 songs of the extensive collection the 2 had written together. One of the songs is "Dreams Behind the Tears" – song against child labor in agriculture.

Maria unveiled the song publicly for the first time at the ILO annual event World Day against Child Labour on June 12, 2007 at the Olimpic Theatre in Rome. An Event organized by ILO and FAO;

Early in 2009 She formed the Baton Rouge trio, a polyinstrumental country-pop-rock trio. The style of music played by BATON ROUGE ranges from Bluegrass to Modern Country while also incorporating Irish folk tunes, traditional Country and Country-Western styles. In 2009 she made her first album “Tunes along the Tumbleweed Trail” produced by the country band Baton Rouge: 12 tracks. Three of these tracks are written by the songwriting collaboration of Lindsay-Olivero, in which Maria Olivero writes the music and Matthew Lindsay pens the lyrics.

Today Maria presents her project: a new sound of rock to present her music:

“Anyway” the forthcoming album, written by Maria Olivero & Matt Lindsay;

“Breaking Away” a rock’n’roll song about a free spirit running for his

own “vision” ….

’CAUSE I’M WORKING MY WAY, TO THE TOP OF THE HAY, I’M NOT SEARCHING FOR A SAILOR DOWN HERE; IF YOU WERE ME, YOU WOULD BEGIN TO SEE , THIS VIEW OF MY LIFE WAS NEVER THIS CLEAR...

(Breaking away, lyrics)

an enthralling repertoire her original songs and also a very well-kept selection of covers which have meant so much to her over the years;

such artists inspired her like Stevie Nicks, Bob Dylan, Angelo Badalamenti, Hole, Joan Jett, Roy Orbison, Donovan, Sandy Denny, Alanis Morissette, Sheryl Crow, Johnny Cash, Rolling Stones, Lou Reed ...

Maria named her Band “The Mad Rebels”, dedicated to Rebel Rebel

by David Bowie;
