In Overflow is a Minneapolis, Minnesota based group that began playing music together in the summer of 2006. Though the group is relatively new, the members each bring their own bit of influences and musical experiences to the songs written by lead singer Zac Fitzsimmons. The songs themselves are difficult to fit into a specific genre as a collection. Some songs would be described as “pop/rock” with subtle bluegrass flavors, others might be called “acoustic/groove” combined with Jack Johnson or Jason Mraz styled vocals, and some are stripped down folk tunes. Everyone seems to have a different favorite. What’s yours?

On paper, the band In Overflow shouldn't work: Their sound is derivative of a lot of the best Americana music of the last 30 years, lead singer Zac Fitzsimmons has a buttery-smooth voice that sharply contrasts the gritty blues vibe laid out by his bandmates, and, in an alternate universe, their debut album might be titled The Almost Famous Soundtrack, Volume Two. But for a group that's been together for less than a year, In Overflow's The Time Is Now is surprisingly epic. Slow-burning acoustic guitar-builds feed into fist-in-the-air anthemic choruses, while old-timey banjo and harmonica fills seem hand-crafted to accompany the next Cameron Crowe scene change. The disc plays like a mix-tape tribute to the good ol' days of blues-based rock 'n' roll, and, against all odds, it seems to work.
