Ollie Hawkins

Ollie Hawkins is an artist originating from Cheshire, England, whose music is rooted in authentic songwriting and the storytelling traditions of Americana. With a focus on lyrical depth and melodic clarity, his work explores personal experience with honesty and restraint, drawing listeners into narratives that feel both intimate and universal. His debut single, Take the Money and Run, released in 2025, recounts the experience of being arrested in a foreign country—offering a vivid and reflective opening statement to his growing catalogue. The single follows a landmark live appearance alongside Zach Bryan at BST Hyde Park, where Hawkins performed a duet in front of a major British audience. Active across both the UK and US live scenes, he has appeared at The Long Road Festival, PorchFest in Franklin (TN), the Acoustic Country Music Festival (C2C 2025), and American SpeedFest at Brands Hatch. He has also supported touring acts at established UK venues including The Water Rats and Dingwalls. Influenced by artists such as Tyler Childers and Garth Brooks, Hawkins’ approach blends the immediacy of modern country with the sincerity of traditional songwriting. With a growing audience online and further releases in development, he continues to build a reputation as a thoughtful and compelling voice in contemporary Americana.
