Oliver Tree

If you thought wardrobe changes and wigs were for divas only, then let Oliver Tree—who's headed for Jannus Live in St. Petersburg on Wednesday, Aug, 31—change your mind.

Tree's latest, February’s Cowboy Tears, puts a Stetson on more of the meme-powered schtick that’s made Tree popular, and you need not go to this show if you take yourself too seriously.
