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!
