OLIVIA FOX is a Kansas City-based folk-pop band known for their powerful female harmonies and heartfelt lyrics, coupled with a fresh dynamic sound. Fronted by vocalist and guitarist Lauren Flynn, violinist and vocalist Tiffany Smith and keyboardist and vocalist Aubrey Dykeman, the band  features the talents of these women alongside drummer and producer Tyler Banks (since 2017) and the recent addition of guitarist and bassist Branden Moser (2024).

​

With a sound that emulates their individual and collective journeys, OLIVIA FOX is constantly evolving. "We were ready to reflect that in our songwriting and we also wanted to lean more into the folk side of the folk/ pop genre," says Lauren, who has previously been the band's primary songwriter. “This new level of collaboration is incredible” Aubrey adds, as they are now all contributing to the writing process in this new chapter. The band has already made a splash in the Kansas City music scene, gracing stages like Midland Theater, Boulevardia, Kauffman Stadium, The Kauffman Center and Knuckleheads.

​

Since the band’s inception, the women bonded over personal heartache and struggle and sought a name to reflect that solidarity. They wanted to create a name that would embody a warrior spirit and appeal to and empower all women fighting personal battles. Thus, OLIVIA FOX was born – capable, intelligent, brave women supporting others. As the band often says, “We are all OLIVIA FOX.”

​

OLIVIA FOX has built a strong following through radio-ready recordings and a polished live show that is, by turns, aching, melancholy, hopeful, and bright. With national releases to Triple A, Non-Comm, and Alternative radio formats, OVFX is receiving consistent airplay in many markets. Local NPR music critic Bill Brownlee recognized the band as "one of the most fully realized musical acts in Kansas City.” He called the group “polished” and “eminently marketable” before describing the group’s music: “As synthetic beats contrast with traditional folk harmonies, the hushed song [Play the Game] becomes a wondrous combination of tension and tranquility — as enticing as a romantic whisper.”
