Dale Byron Oliver (Born 1970) is an American music composer who works for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. Formerly a backing guitarist for the American country music group BlackHawk, Oliver serves mainly as a composer of theme music used in professional wrestling.
Since 2003, Oliver writes, records, and produces music under contract exclusively for TNA Wrestling.

Oliver plays the instruments and provides the vocals for most of the theme songs himself.
In 2010, Oliver collaborated with TNA superstar Jeff Hardy and his band, Peroxwhy?gen on two songs. The first was a remix of the song "Modest" by Hardy. The other was a remix of the Peroxwhy?gen song "Another Me" which Hardy uses as his entrance theme. In 2011, Oliver again teamed with Hardy to work on the track "Resurrected", which Hardy announced on his official twitter page. He then began using the theme at TNA's pay per view event "Bound For Glory" on October 16, 2011. He has appeared playing the guitar in the 2012 music video Longnecks and Rednecks sung by Serg Salinas featuring country duo Montgomery Gentry.
