Twice nominated as, 2023/2024 “Tribute Artist of the Year,” by the prestigious Josie Music Awards (The largest independent artist award show in the world!), Always Olivia is the premiere national touring tribute show honoring the life and legacy of Olivia NewtonJohn. Always Olivia flawlessly captures the essence and sounds of Olivia’s timeless music. The show is fronted by singer Annie Aiello; her Olivia NewtonJohn vocal resemblance is absolutely astonishing! Annie, (a celebrated vocalist, “Round 2” candidate on The Voice, recorded with 80’s icon Richard Marx and worked alongside Grammy and Emmy Award winning producers) was captivated by and studied Olivia Newton-John ever since she was 7 years old. Backing Annie are some of Chicago’s most talented musicians who have played for Oprah Winfrey, American Idol, Jersey Boys, Frankie Avalon, The Smothers Brothers, The Drifters, Mannheim Steamroller and more! This show lovingly incorporates 5 decades of Olivia’s music, historical dialogue, humor, audience participation, costume changes and captivating video elements. Expect to hear Olivia’s memorable hits spanning the 70’s to the present day including: Hopelessly Devoted, You’re The One That I Want, Physical, Magic, Xanadu, If You Love Me Let Me Know, Let Me Be There, Don’t Stop Believin’, Grace & Gratitude and so much more! Always Olivia isn’t just any tribute band. Not only is the show supported by friends and family of Olivia Newton-John, but in 2023 alone, they helped raise more than $23,000 benefitting the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness and Research Centre to advance Oliva’s legacy and belief that we can “see an end to cancer in our lifetime.”
