Oly Sherman basks in the beauty of the everyday in latest single ‘Dancin’ in the Rain’. A beautiful, vulnerable display of strength, Oly’s sumptuous vocal tones take us on a journey of pure joy and artistry.
Speaking to his philosophy of enjoying the simple pleasures of life, Oly’s confident vocals exude a power that draws you in. Soulfully dancing over luxurious jazz instrumentation, the result is nothing short of exceptional.
Pulling aural influences from international favourites Daniel Ceasar, Omar Apollo and Loyle Carner, and closer to home with Tash Sultana, Kaiit, and Matt Corby. Sherman’s aurally decadent soundscapes are nestled in between that beautiful space of soul-fused jazz and RnB.
Slightly more stripped back then previous releases, Oly showcases his confidence in his experimentation, leaning more heavily into the late night jazz dive bar, spotlighting his vocals.
“Dancin’ In The Rain is about enjoying the little things and getting out of your own head. The rain is a symbol for doing things that aren’t necessarily comfortable at first, but doing them because of the valuable people around you, and the ultimate joy of jumping in.” Oly Sherman
‘Dancin’ in the Rain’ sees airy synths, a deliciously grooving baseline, and fluttering sporadic keys work in harmony, elevating Olys honeyed vocal tones. The shining strength of this single is the crooning, saxophone solo that brings to life the feeling of walking through Paris at midnight under spheres of illumination from weathered street lamps.
Like previous releases, ‘Dancin’ in the Rain’ was recorded at Sherman’s home studio, with final touches applied at A-Sharp Studios. The single was then refined by both Oly Sherman and engineer Daniel Natoli.
Since releasing his first single in 2017, Sherman has carved out a devout following of listeners yearning for his soul-laden songs. In that time he has seen break-out success from single ‘Homeboy’ which accumulated 120k+ streams alongside a steady fan base of monthly listeners on Spotify that hovers at around 20k, Oly Sherman has proven his dynamism in spades.
With two sold out shows at iconic Sydney venue The Lansdowne, the Newtown Festival and notable support slots for Slum Sociable, Alex The Astronaut and Matthew Young, Oly Sherman will be sharing his honeyed vocals and grooving beats with a number of shows across the country over September through to November.

With La Nina hitting Melbourne in full force, it didn’t deter fans from attending the first of two Melbourne shows from heavyweight rockers Butterfly Effect. This was a tour that was put on hold since the pandemic. But with their recent release of “IV”, their first album in 14 years, it was an opportunity to showcase new material amongst their classics.
Prog metal favourites Caligua’s Horse opened the night with tight musical precision and to a very receptive crowd. Thornhill had quite a number of fans at the show tonight wearing the band’s t-shirts. This is a metal band that has escalated in popularity. The band delivered an energetic live set spearheaded by the charismatic frontman Jacob Charlton as they worked through their catalog including “Raw”, “View from The Sun”, and “Casanova”.
To the IV album atmospheric opener “IV” playing, the crowd roared when Butterfly Effect took to the stage launching into “Dark Light” and the catchy “Window and the Watcher”. When someone yelled “Great to see you back boys!”, everyone was in agreement that it had been too long between shows.
To the heavy grind of “Always”, the crowd sang along in unison to singer Clint Boge. His theatrical mannerisms further shifted and shaped the mood for each song from the riff laden “Nil By Mouth“ , the melodic “Gone” to the bass line hook “Everyone Runs”. He paused a few times to thank the fans and acknowledge his gratefulness to be able to do live shows again.
The band returned for a brief encore which included the intricate new track “Visiting Hours” and tying the night with fan favourite “Reach”. The band is never one to take off after the show. They stuck around to chat to fans so in Clint’s words they “would leave the show feeling fully satisified.” They sure did!
West Set returns this weekend with the festival taking over the inner west suburb of Footscray with live music programming on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from Friday 14 – Sunday 30 October offering Free Entry for all shows.
West Set is a live music event produced by the City of Maribyrnong and presented by ‘On The Road Again’, a Victorian Government initiative to support the return of live music events across Victoria.

The key venue highlight for this year’s event is the pop-up venue Las Palmas located on the Footscray Library forecourt creating a 40/50’s inspired Latin/Cuban styled jazz bar. The team at the City of Maribyrnong wishes to transport people to a different time and country, with Ethiopian flourishes in the design referencing the Ethiopian cafes that surround the library on Barkly street.

One not to miss, 10-piece Ethio-funk ensemble Black Jesus Experience will bring their danceable alloy of traditional Ethiopian song and 21st century grooves to the Footscray Library Forecourt with support from local Ethio-Jazz saxophonist Solomon Sisay and multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer GP Saxy Ensemble with his blending Afrobeat and highlife and jazz, GP Saxy promises to transport you to the depths of Lagos with this collection of afro-funky sounds.
To close out the first weekend West Set + Melbourne International Jazz Festival Present a family-friendly event with all ages welcome, La Influencia and Kidstruments (LIVE) by Playable Streets from 11am – 2pm.

In the words of Cut Copy member, Dan Whitford …
“We are very excited to be playing our first headline show in Melbourne in over 5 years. As a band we started out here and cut our teeth playing local gigs so now that half of the band lives overseas and most of our touring is spent in other countries it definitely holds special significance to us to return to and play to a home crowd. We’re also excited to be performing some current favorites of Melbourne’s music scene in Glass Beams and Rona. Both have been real highlights of the past year and a half for me. So as well as being a rare opportunity for us to play in Melbourne, with those support acts it promises to be an excellent night of music from start to finish.”

Where are you currently based?
Melbourne.
How did you first start playing music?
I started with violin in primary school, moved to drums, piano, music theory and guitar in high school and beyond.
Please tell us how MayhemTom first came to be:
I started as a bass player vocalist, but moved to vocals alone as we got serious in a funk/rock band. The band was called Electric Mayhem, which is where Mayhemtom came from literally. I decided to put together songs for an album and came back to that name after trying to a few other names, only to find they were all taken!
What’s been happening recently with MayhemTom?
I have just released an album on streaming services, there is a vinyl edition on the way and we have been rehearsing for an Album launch taking place later this week.
Your album ‘The Art Of Flying While Falling’ is out now, what influenced the sound and songwriting?
It is an amalgamation of styles including straight Indie rock artists like Radiohead and The National to more folk/singer songwriters like Paul Kelly and Sufjan Stevens. The songwriting came from a period of stress and burnout during work as an oncologist. I hadn’t played regularly or written anything for over 15 years prior. The sounds are largely organic instruments including drums, piano, strings, guitar. But I love electronic music too and there are some synth sounds blended in too.
How did you go about writing?
Alot of the song came from moods/poetry which were put to chords. Previously I built songs around chords and I always drifted away from standard I, IV, V chords or threw in weird dissonant chords and pulled melodies to match the chords. For this, I allowed the melodies in my head to find the chords, so it is a bit more accessible but there are also some complex arrangements. Even time signatures, such as in the track Alone, which switches between 5/4 and 4/4 was built to fit the lyrics.
What does this album mean to you?
It’s an emotional outlet and what I had dreamt of doing when I first started playing in bands. Getting back to music has been rediscovering myself.
Where and when did you record/produce/master and who did you work with?
I gathered together some professional musicians (Maria Moles drums, Peter Burgess bass, Paul Zubrinich keys) and recorded in a studio in Melbourne called Oaklands. The album was produced by an experienced producer Dusty Teal. The initial recording occurred in May 2021, but we were hampered by several COVID lockdowns. So while the bass, drums and some piano was done then, the rest we pieced together over several sessions later in 2021/2022. Some were back in the studio, the synths were done from home. The vocals were tracked in the producer’s home studio. The strings and backing vocals were done in separate studio sessions.
How did you approach the recording/production process?
I put together some complicated demos with the instrumentation I was after tracked on synth including the string parts. We worked on them as a band and pieced together the arrangements to suit the music and that’s what we took into the recording studio to put down. I then added synths, guitars and flourishes towards the end. The final mix was then mastered using Cloudbounce an AI service.
Who are you listening to at the moment?
My favourites mix currently has Josh Pyke, Talking Heads, Spacey Jane, Gang of Youths and Courtney Barnett. But an album I have on repeat ATM is Samora Pinderhughes “Grief”.
What do you like to do away from music?
I am a busy oncologist, so I deal with a lot of grief and death. Which is why finding my back to music has been so therapeutic.
What’s planned for the remainder of 2022 going into 2023?
We are looking at playing a bit more following the album launch including some local gigs as well as some smaller festivals over summer.
Favourite food and place to hangout?
I don’t really have a favourite food, but I pretty much love most South Indian curries my mum cooks. The band have a bit of history hanging out at pubs around Brunswick such as the Rainbow Hotel, The Standard or The Rose, so it’s always nostalgic heading back there.
