Norfolk County singer-songwriter Olivia Mae Graham is inviting the community to a special holiday concert and album release party on December 7 at the Hungarian Hall in Delhi. Doors open at 1 p.m., where fans will hear festive favourites, original songs, and live performances from her new album, Nobody.
Graham, who began performing at age 11 in the hamlet of Lynedoch, says releasing her first full album feels like the result of years of growth, learning, and creative resilience.
Despite believing she would need to leave home to pursue music, Graham found her creative team right in Southern Ontario. She recorded the album locally with London producer Aaron Murray and co-writer Jay Allan of Chatham.
Nobody features ten songs and two bonus tracks. The album’s title track celebrates perseverance and fearlessness, while the cover photo—taken at her photographer’s urging just moments before Graham opened for Terri Clark at Burning Kiln Winery—captures the moment she felt herself shift.
Graham says this will be her third holiday show, and “third time’s a charm.” Graham explains that her love of Christmas—and a Christmas song she released a few years ago—helped inspire the original show. She adds that this year feels especially meaningful because it also celebrates the release of her new album.
With CDs, vinyl, and a festive setlist, Graham hopes fans will experience the full story of Nobody-and the spirit of the season-start to finish.
