The Olson Bros Band: Official Bio
Fresh off their fourth national songwriting win in early 2026—taking home top honors from Wide Open Country for their anthem “Raise it to The Morning Light”—The Olson Bros Band is cementing their legacy as one of the most prolific songwriting duos in modern country. Hailing from Olympia, Washington, brothers Luke and Isaac Olson have spent over a decade captivating audiences with their signature tight harmonies and high-energy performances.
The duo’s songwriting streak is unprecedented: their 2026 victory follows a string of national awards, including a 2025 win for the crowd-favorite "Tailgate Tunes," a 2013 breakout win for their original “Sunrise,” and a second national award from Unsigned Only for their emotionally charged ballad "Kill Your Mom," which has garnered over 1.5 million views online.
Voted "Best Band of Western Washington" by KING 5 Evening Magazine, the brothers have evolved from local favorites to a national powerhouse with eight studio albums and millions of streams. Their music has taken them across the globe, most notably through their 2021 hit "By and By," which sparked a viral line-dancing movement throughout Europe and Latin America. Their deep connection to their Pacific Northwest roots even landed them a Subaru commercial placement for their song "I Bleed Evergreen."
The Olson Bros Band is equally at home on the big stage, having shared the spotlight with country legends such as Dwight Yoakam, Craig Morgan, Eddie Montgomery, Lonestar, Eli Young Band, and Dylan Scott. Their sound—a seamless blend of modern country with rock and pop sensibilities—allows them to bridge the gap between anthemic party songs and raw, heartfelt storytelling.
With their most recent back-to-back album releases, "Hick Heaven" (2024) and "Dirt Road Escapades" (2025), Luke and Isaac continue to push the boundaries of the genre, delivering a genuine and unforgettable musical experience for fans old and new.
