Genre-bending artist Oliver Tree has released his new single, “Placeholder“, produced by Oliver, Travis Barker, and Nick Long. The track is the latest single to be taken from Cowboy Tears (Deluxe), an expanded release of his acclaimed sophomore LP set to arrive everywhere this summer. Listen to it now below.
“This song is about a placeholder at a dinner I went to a few months back,” says Oliver. “The person who was supposed to be sitting next to me didn’t show up and it was the most beautiful, elegant plate and utensils set up that went completely unused. Afterwards I drove directly to the studio and wrote a song about it.”
Oliver will celebrate the deluxe release with a much anticipated new leg of his blockbuster Cowboy Tears North American headline tour. All dates are listed below. Tickets can be found www.olivertreemusic.com.
In the meantime, Oliver is currently traveling on a busy international live schedule that includes an eagerly awaited series of Australian headline dates and high-profile festival sets across North America. Highlights include San Francisco, CA’s Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival (August 5), Grand Rapids, MI’s Breakaway Music Festival (August 20), Toronto, ON’s Rolling Loud Toronto (September 10), Las Vegas, NV’s Life Is Beautiful (September 16), Queens, NY’s Rolling Loud New York (September 25), and Austin, TX’s Austin City Limits Music Festival (October 7-9, 14-16).
