The country rock musical born in Nashville & raised in NYC
‘The Last Five Years’ meets Nashville Honky Tonk; Oil & Whiskey is a dramedy about two ex- lovers who meet for a drink and relive their entire relationship over a couple of rounds of whiskey. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and by the end you will remember why you don’t text your ex.
At the forefront of the recent Americana resurgence in Edinburgh and NYC, this toe-stomping musical written in Nashville, Tennessee, will immerse audiences in an authentic country rock cabaret concert akin to an evening at the Grand Ole Opry.
Oil & Whiskey is the debut musical for producer, musician, and songwriter Kit Nolan. The Nashville based multi-instrumentalist who has toured the world performing for millions as the Music Director for Lindsey Stirling, and as a session musician for Robbie Williams and One Direction. He is joined by award-winning playwright and storyteller Dax Wiley. Wiley has written and produced musicals across the U.S.A. such as New York’s first immersive musical, The Limbo Lounge, and Good Fishermen Know A Lot About Sex, a powerful drama performed on theatre row in Los Angeles about the dangers of opioid abuse in America.
First debuted at the New York City Fringe Festival 2025 where it won the SOLD-OUT Award, Oil & Whiskey is coming to London after making its UK debut at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2026.

“A country rock fireball that reminds you to never hit up your ex.”
Catherine Burford, Broadway World
“Dax Wiley and Kit Nolan have a real charmer on their hands”
Tony Marinelli, Hi Drama
“Nolan’s score demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of country music’s narrative traditions, evoking everything from honky-tonk heartbreak to bluegrass jubilation…Wiley’s book, while maintaining comic velocity, never condescends to its character’ struggles.”
Edward A Kliszus, Opening Night Reviews
