Olive Mae—

Western Australian country artist, Olive Mae, has released her new single, Small Town, a toe-tapping tribute to the quirks and comforts of rural life.

A love letter to the place she calls home, Small Town combines a classic country groove with folk and alt-country colours. Lively fiddle licks lead the charge while Olive’s bubbly vocal ducks and weaves across the bouncy arrangement.

From Cowaramup, a little town tucked away in Western Australia’s southwest, Olive knows a thing or two about small-town living. It’s the sort of place where everybody knows your name, your story, and probably what you had for breakfast. But when the chips are down, there’s nowhere she’d rather be.

“I wrote Small Town at my first ever SHE Songwriting Retreat (run by Lyn Bowtell) with multiple Golden Guitar nominated lyricist, Kath Stewart,” says Olive. “It is a song about the familiarity of living life in a small town where everyone knows your name and knows your business but will also help you anytime you need them to. I think this song will resonate with anyone who lives in a close-knit community and it is one of my personal favourites. I’m very excited to have it out in the world.”

Behind the desk is multi-award-winning producer Matt Fell who gives Small Town plenty of room to kick up its heels. The pair’s creative partnership continues to bear fruit, with the track marking their third single together.

Bursting out of the speakers with infectious energy, Small Town is a spirited showcase of the singer-songwriter’s heartfelt storytelling and distinctly Australian country sound. With an EP on the horizon for early 2027, Olive has plenty more stories to tell.
