Will Overman Band’s Album Release Party. Saturday, Doors at 6 p.m., The Ante Room, Charlottesville. We’ve raved about Will Overman—first as a band-leader, then as a solo musician—ever since we followed the group’s on-the-road lifestyle of a traveling band in 2016. Since then, Overman has set out on his own path, maturing as a musician and emerging as a singer/songwriter to watch. His latest album, Crossroads, was released December 7 and has been in heavy rotation at The Piedmont Virginian office ever since. One of our editors spoke with Will about his craft and his inspiration for the tracks on Crossroads. To celebrate the release, Overman and his backing band will perform both new songs and fan favorites to an eager, adoring crowd in Charlottesville. Be sure to purchase your ticket before the event sells out!

The Honey Dewdrops. Thursday, Concert Begins at 7 p.m., Paris Apothecary, Paris. Laura Wortman and Kagey Parrish share more than most couples. As the Honey Dewdrops, they share stages from venues to festivals across North America, stretches of rolling, infinite roadway, and a lot of songs. With tight harmonies and a musical ensemble that includes clawhammer banjo, mandolin, and guitars, the effect is to leave listeners with only what matters: the heart of the song and clarity over ornamentation.
