Will Overman:
Making a living in music isn’t easy, especially when it seems like listeners' tastes change with the wind and algorithms are updated constantly, teasing artists with catching the elusive dollar. Central VA based singer-songwriter Will Overman however; has found a way to thrive in a seemingly constant state of transition.
Will Overman’s music can be best described as Country-Americana, but it's not your typical Country-Americana sound. Sonically it is restless by nature, always searching for something new, and with Will’s heart-worn lyrics and dynamic vocal delivery, it makes for a memorable mixture that is hard to place but easy to love.
John Baumann:
Baumann takes a cue from storytelling greats like Townes Van Zant, Guy Clark and Lyle Lovett, Adam Carroll, John Prine, Jackson Browne, James McMurtry, Nanci Griffith, leaning more into observation than experience in his writing, preferring to inhabit stories that are not his own. And on Border Radio, his sixth album out October 6, the stories range from a man’s love for his “Gold El Camino” to falling in love in the red light glow of “Boy’s Town.” On each track, it’s clear the Austin-based Baumann is at the top of his songwriting game. “Saturday Night Comes Once a Week” could easily be a country radio hit, while the lyrical deftness and timelessness of “The Night Before the Day of the Dead” and “Turning Gold” rival the best of his heroes’ work.
