Overbaugh, Tad
Farther From Near
Tad Overbaugh is a singer-songwriter from Swampscott/Boston, MA whose songs balance heart, humor, and grit. His music blends catchy melodies with depth, wit, and a worn-in honestydelivering dive-bar pop rock 'n' roll steeped in roots-rock, alt-country, classic country, and rockabilly influences. Returning from the open road, leaving blue skies behind him, his demons in the dust, arriving late as he saddles up to the bar. Farther From Near is the latest chapter of Heartfelt, Heartland, heart-worn, blue collar, country-fried, rebel rousing rock with lush, catchy melodies from Tad Overbaugh. Mixing their blue collar rock and classic country influences, driving down that highway of Americana, Alt-Country, and Southern accented power-pop, Tad Overbaugh's songs fall somewhere between the twang of Steve Earle, the gritty dive bar pop of Twin/Tone, chimey, hook-filled songwriting of Tom Petty, and jangle of McGuinn.
