The Black Belles performed on The Colbert Show as Stephen Colbert’s backing band.
In 2014, OLIVIA JEAN released her solo debut album on Third Man Records titled “Bathtub Love Killings.” New Noise Magazine described her sound as “That of an unsavory love triangle between Patsy Cline, Nancy Sinatra and Siouxsie Sioux, with a melancholy croon that is unmistakable.” OLIVIA JEAN’s cover of “You Really Got Me” by The Kinks, was used for an Yves Saint Laurent advertisement.
In support of her debut album, OLIVIA toured with acts such as The Pixies, Jack White, and Jenny Lewis. She has toured as a guitarist and bassist for Jack White, Wanda Jackson, and Karen Elson.
