Magic Mountain

For all his talent and success, Grant Olsen is still intent on grasping his anonymity. Playing under his childhood nickname in Arthur & Yu and ever changing the title of his side project from Magic Mountain to White Lightning and back again, Olsen seems intent on keeping his fans guessing where you can see him next. Hopefully by the time he gets around to releasing a record featuring his simply beautiful acoustics and instantly recognizable vocals that in a single emotional crack can rival the chills of a lover’s breath on your neck, he’ll just settle on his own name and accept his destiny. With The Moondoggies, Grand Hallway. MA’CHELL DUMA LAVASSAR
