Ol Whitetail

Ol Whitetail is a folk singer-songwriter from Pittsburgh, PA. Inspired by art, magic realism, psychology, and philosophy, she uses literary devices and elements of visual design to evoke a cinematic aesthetic in song. 

She taught herself to play on a borrowed guitar when she was a teenager, and she started to write songs at the same time. When she was 19 she left her home in rural northern Appalachia to live near Nashville, where she studied fine art, music industry, and commercial songwriting. There she recorded two albums with the folk-country duo Good Luck Ola and interned at Oh Boy Records. She also served on the board for the Helen Creighton Folklore Society in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where she began to play folk and jazz on a classical guitar.

Her debut self-titled album was recorded at The Church Recording Studio (Pittsburgh, PA) and will be released on February 16, 2022.
