The orchard sessions with olivia daponte

Raised in East Tennessee, Olivia DaPonte is an emerging songwriter in the country music scene. Picking up a guitar when she was 12, she learned to play songs by artists from James Taylor and Bob Dylan to Dolly Parton and Johnny Cash. Not only did that experience give her some great cover material to play at local gigs, but it also honed her direction and style as a budding songwriter. Olivia currently lives in Nashville, TN, where she performs regularly at songwriters’ rounds, including becoming a member of the Song Suffragettes, an all-female country music singer-songwriter collective. Olivia’s latest singles, “Burning Away” and “White Lies,” can be found on all streaming platforms.
