Words and music by Gareth Overton
Overton & McCann
Chamber folk-pop duo performing gentle original songs with a touch of expansive brass.
Acoustic guitar, piano and trumpet blends the indie-folk of Beirut with catchy, storytelling songcraft in the close harmonising mould of Simon & Garfunkel.
Perfect for listening rooms ready for something different.
