Ollerton (gone in Chile ’till 2010)

Album OUT NOW!

About Me



Once upon a time, a young gentleman from a sleepy coastal town in California became obsessed with making music.
The end.

My name is Russell Ollerton. Musically I just go by Ollerton. Odd, I know, but sometimes it’s the oddest things in life that are the most wonderful and brilliant. Such as when you go outside at 5AM to find the air wrapped in a fresh blanket of fog and the dew on the lush green grass seeps up through your toes and reminds you about what life is truly about. I’m pleased to see you’ve dropped by. Please enjoy your stay and feel free to eat the complementary mint on your pillow.

"Spirituality permeates Ollerton’s songs... [A] journey is layed out in the evocative "Part I," "Part II," and "Part III," and filled in by the rest, In Ollerton’s yearning, emotive voice and rich harmonic layers." -Half Moon Bay Review russellollerton
