Oli McCracken

Oli McCracken is a British-American singer-songwriter based in London. Raised between Chicago and Denver, his music is rooted in Americana and centered on storytelling, character and emotional honesty.

​

McCracken released his debut EP, From Scratch, in 2016 and spent the years that followed writing, recording and performing around Denver while steadily building his catalogue of music. After more than a decade in Colorado, he moved to London at the end of 2023. The move brought him back to solo performance after several years of playing with a band in Denver and marked the beginning of a new period of writing and recording.

​

Since the move, McCracken has developed an ongoing recording partnership with producer Jack Trouble at Spiritual Records Studios, beginning with Old Man’s Gun and continuing across much of his recent work. His songs often begin with personal experience but rarely stay literal, using characters, scenes and imagined perspectives to tell stories with an emotional arc. His songwriting and musicianship have grown considerably over the years, but the aim remains much the same: songs that tell a story, avoid easy answers and leave an emotional mark.
