Cam Olver
Cam Olver is a Newton-based solo guitarist specializing in fingerstyle. He creates intricate arrangements that seemingly defy the capabilities of one instrument and emulate the lavish construction of a full band. The result is a wonderfully complex music that is easy to listen to and suits any scenario. Cam graduated from Berklee College of Music with a Bachelor of Music in Performance Recording and Production. His studies were full of varied ensemble experiences, as well as an in depth development of his skills as a guitarist and a solo arranger. He has put these skills to use in his post grad projects including an EP release, numerous covers, and fingerstyle specific competitions such as the 2024 Natasha International Fingerstyle Competition, where he placed in the finals.
