Gabe Lee and Will Overman

Released October 28th via Torrez Music Group, The Hometown Kid is a record about arrivals and departures, homes and homecomings, the places we leave and the lessons we carry with us.___________________________ Restless by nature, a traveler with a poets eye for mountains but a working mans taste for road food, Overmans always on the move. He comes by it naturally. Thats because Overman spent his formative years as a child of two worlds. Summer surf sessions in Virginia Beach gave way to fall backpacking expeditions in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Rinse, wash, repeat. Sunscreen and fly rods, flip flops and hiking boots. Two different landscapes. Two different soundtracks. Rock and pop where water meets earth, bluegrass and folk where trees meet the sky. Somewhere in between, maybe on the interstate between Virginias edges and its heart, thats where the country music is.Ask Overman about his influences, and hes just as likely to say The Killers as the Avett Brothers. So its inevitable all those worlds would sonically collide inside Overmans head. A live performance will probably include a harmonica. But youll also get a good old-fashioned rock show. Or is it alt-country? Alternative? Impossible to say, and thats just the way Overman likes it. Thats because the versatile singer-songwriter has some road behind him now. Has lived enough life to know it doesnt matter what you call a thing as long as it does the job. And thats what Overmans songs do. Aided by unforgettable vocal delivery, Overman fires each track directly at the heart by way of the ears.
