About

Lucky Overton mixes edgy and heartfelt songwriting, with guitar, harmonica, bass and stomp box into a soulful blend of Americana and roots-rock that is influenced by 1950's rock 'n roll & country, as well as 1960's and 1970's soul and folk. Lucky Overton’s music has been compared to acts from John Prine and The Rolling Stones to Ray Charles and Otis Redding. The result is a sound that can only be described as ‘Soulful Americana.’ Originally from East TN, Lucky has 34 years of experience performing live and composing original music. He currently resides in Alamosa County, Colorado.

"Lucky Overton wraps his smoky pipes around little gems of Country and Soul, bordering at times on a less-raspy Paul Westerberg or a slightly more soulful Pete Droge. Overton's cadence and music conjure the story-telling of Robert Earl Keen. Overton is a musical mutt who touches on many respected peers without getting pigeonholed into being the "next" somebody. That works for Overton. His working-man songs smolder, keeping the emotions close to the vest without ever allowing them to burst out. It creates a wonderful tension as he moves through his songs."
