Will Overman

Will Overman is a man coming into focus.

The Virginia-raised singer-songwriter spent the last four years watching his first solo album slide away in the rearview mirror. The life he had when he wrote and recorded The Winemaker’s Daughter is gone. His sophomore effort, Stranger, finds Overman with eyes fixed firmly on the dotted line unspooling ahead of him.

“The album is the most fully realized version of me,” the musician says. That’s evident in the tracks. “Virginia is For Lovers,” an earworm of a single released last year, is peak Overman — nuanced, specific, and catchy as all hell. “Held Up by a Woman,” the most recent single, builds on an acoustic foundation toward a powerful, cathartic, electric release. Meanwhile, the intensely autobiographical “The Bottom” finds Overman wrestling with relatable questions of doubt, life choices, relationships, and mistakes — all without providing easy answers.

Grady Spencer

Grady Spencer & the Work is an American groove-based rock and roll band from Fort Worth, Texas. Born and bred out of the sweat and blood stemming from decades of gritty manual labor, the band channels years of music experiences into a tasty soup of country, pop and rock music. Consisting of Grady Spencer on guitar and vocals, Johnny Hatcher on bass/vocals/keys, Tyler Martin on lead guitar, and Jesse Fox on drums/percussion/Ableton, the group has been touring from San Diego to Manhattan over the past few years. The live shows are a spectacle of tightly wound arrangements and harmonies mixed with heart string-pulling love songs about family and friends.
