Troy Olsen grew up in rural Arizona not far from the New Mexico line. Troy split his time between his parents’ ranch and his grandparents’, where he worked with his cousins. His grandparents didn’t have electricity, but during the day a portable radio pulled in the signal from a local AM station. “The playlist was probably 10 years behind,” Troy says of the ‘70s and ‘80s country he heard. “I love that era.” He had become so passionate and obsessed with seeing and listening to more of this music, he would drive a pickup truck to the top of a nearby mesa in order to get reception so he could watch The Nashville Network on a portable television plugged into the truck’s cigarette lighter. Troy soon got himself a guitar and taught himself to play. His singles include Summer Thing, Tryin’ To Find The Sun and Tumbleweed.
