		NEWS: August 24th-2008  Interview/Feature in the latest Issue of UK's Fireworks Magazine!!  Big thanks to Nicky Baldrain for giving me to opportunity to be featured in the magazine! The September/October Issue also includes a free compilation CD, which features the track "Heartstrings" along with a slew of great up and coming bands! You can purchase the magazine online, or find it at select Borders Books locations here in the US. www.rathole.com/fireworks www.myspace.com/fireworks_magazine UPCOMING SHOW August 17th-2008  Check out the latest "Heartstrings" CD review from www.rockeyez.com below! Big thanks to Brian Rademacher for the opportunity to be on the site once again.  By Joe Manno 4 out of 5 stars My boss seems to like my reviews for instrumentalists; maybe I am doing something right! So here we go. “Heartstrings”, a release from a California instrumental guitarist Ty Oliver, is up and queued. I never heard of him That’s OK! I like newbie’s to the scene. 1st cut “Sunset Sky” is a very impressive solo effort. There is lots of melody with not too much table dancing which can get very boring. The tone of Oliver’s guitar has that Satch and Vai influence but with Oliver’s own flavor which makes it interesting. This song flows well and also lets Oliver demonstrate his craft. Nice! “Chasing Angels” keeps things moving along nicely but the mix has a little too much focus on the guitar. There is also not much from the rhythm section to complement the guitar but overall a nice composition. “Fade Into You” calms things down a bit with a real nice instrumental ballad that makes a firm statement. That’s pretty hard to achieve from a guitarist these days. The song actually breathes, which is what I think makes an instrumental successful. Oliver seems to understand the concept that less is more when needed, were a lot of folks today don’t get that. Ty Oliver really shows how to move a tune along without choking it, like in the song “Made Of Memories” which is full of catchy melodies and lots of flare. Dude can play! “Heartstrings” is the title of the CD and the next cut where Ty Oliver gets to show off a bit. The song creates a statement with good dynamics and feel. Remember that word? Ty Oliver definitely has taste and feel, like in the next tune “When Then was Now” Oliver boils off a bit, but holds things together nicely without letting it get away! Ty Oliver brings in a few friends on the next song “Space Jam” to rip up things for a bit. Matt Cafissi, Neil Rambaldi and Matt Sotelo the guest artists, blow this song into pieces! That’s what making music and having friends that are just as compassionate about music is all about! Cool Tune and nice work boys! As much as I hate to say it but if, you know my opinions’ and background. I speak the truth especially when it comes to the backbone of the band. I find this CD very weak in the drum dept. in sound and in performance where it is necessary to have a strong presence that can put the soloist’s hard driven effort over the top. Bass playing is fine but gets lost to many times in the mix. The rest of the CD has great taste and super playing from a soon to be known guitarist, Ty Oliver! “Heartstrings” is a worthy investment and a good collection starter from an up and coming. Nice Job! Rock On!   August 1st-2008  "Heartstrings" now available on iTunes!!

As many of you know, I had begun recording a brand new CD last fall, with plans to have it released this past spring.

Well, after an email campaign that could have been classified as harrassment, I am VERY happy to report that the track "So Softly" off my debut CD, will be reviewed in the May 07' issue of Guitar Player!! It hits stands in a couple weeks, be sure to check it out!! "So Softly" Oliver could be tagged as "Mr. Harmonic," as he loves punctuating his supple single-note lines with somewhat unexpected harmonic pinches. The effect is sometimes a bit jarring, but it adds surprise, heat, and interest to what could otherwise be defined as pretty, yet conventional melodies. Good move!  Big thanks to Editor Michael Molenda for taking the time to listen to the music and give me the oppurtunity to be in the mag, (and for not tearing me up in print) It's an honor!!! II'm also happy to announce that I've been selected as Crossfire Radio's "Artist of the Month" for april!! Big thanks to all at Crossfire Radio, and to all the listeners, you guys rock!!  I've sent the station another track from "Healed Through Time" to add to their playlist- "Surrounded By Beauty" is now played on the show. Go tune in and check it out!!    www.crossfire-radio.com

Here's what they have to say-

"There are many, many great Artists out there of varying styles and techniques. Ty Oliver not only has total mastery of the instument but delivers "from the heart". Listening to his music is like watching a beautiful dream unfold...you are drawn into it...totally immersed and captivated. It is one of the purest "expressions of the spirit" you will ever experience. Ty is a truly gifted Artist and words fail to express our pride in having such an incredible Talent as part of "our little family". We are truly honored. "
