Will Overman

Virginia Beach songwriter and current Charlottesville musician Will Overman has been very active in his young music career so far. He has released two full albums as both a solo artist and as the front man for the Will Overman Band. In 2017 he struck out solely under his own name and released the EP "Crossroads" which especially showcased his growth as a lyricist. In this episode he played two new songs that will be on his next full length album which he is beginning to record this summer. On "Bad Apartment" he sings about "All of the places we lived in during our 20's." Overman excels at turning minute details and experiences into powerful lyrics, like in the conversational country croon "Miss California." He is influenced in equal parts by artist like The Avett Brothers and Ruston Kelly. After speaking with him and hearing these two new songs, I think there is a lot to be excited about on his next release.
