Art & Culture Week Event | OLLELLA

09/03/2024 By Deborah Adler

Join us at Traver Gallery for an Art & Culture Week Event.

Musical performance by

OLLELLA

Tuesday, Sept 10th

Doors at 6 pm. Performance at 7 pm

Join us at Traver Gallery for a special evening performance by Ollela (pronounced oh-lel-uh), a multidisciplinary artist, indie-folk cellist, vocalist, and songwriter. Immerse yourself in the ethereal compositions of Ollella, surrounded by the art of contemporary “gay folk artist” Jeffry Mitchell and award-winning hyperrealist sculptor Tip Toland.

Ollela’s career as a musician started early; she sang before she could talk. Trained as a classical cellist since the age of nine, the Seattle musician merges her technical string background with authoritative vocals and live-looping. Described as “really outstanding” by NPR Music’s Bob Boilen and “so tastefully done” by Michelle Zauner (AKA Japanese Breakfast), Ollella blends the acoustic with the contemporary, folk with pop, and tenacity with softness, pulling on influences such as Feist, Cat Power, and Sylvan Esso. She was twice a finalist in the NPR Tiny Desk Contest (2024, 2022), has had music featured in film and TV, and is a frequent collaborator with other musicians. She finds herself drawn to music because it unlocks a particularly organic flavor of humanity – one that fits the type of world she believes in.
