The music of Will Overman is at once melodic as it is relentless, as refreshingly unique as it is familiar and evocative.
Overman’s music is rooted deeply in the South yet transcends genres and convention, blending essential elements of rock, blues, country, and pop. His songs lean toward a collective swell reminiscent of Ryan Adams, Jason Isbell, and Josh Ritter.
A Virginia native, Overman -- who made it through two levels of NBC’s “The Voice”
-- pairs sleek vocals with haunting rhythm and introspective melody.
He takes on love, life and loss. All with an edge driven deep in reality.
Whether performing solo or with a full band, Overman is a young Bruce Springsteen, (think “Nebraska”). He’s a folksinger and a rocker (think “Born to Run”), fronting a talented group of musicians swinging from flawless riffs to intoxicating beats.
Overman is quickly building a reputation as a fan favorite at music festivals including MerleFest, Rooster Walk Music and Arts Festival, Front Porch Fest and Appaloosa Roots Music Festival. He’s slated to play at the 2017 Lynchstock and is a finalist in the “Rockn to Lockn” contest. And he recently submitted this to NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert.
