Details:
Overboard is an all-male a cappella group based in Boston, MA whose repertoire consists of a cappella covers of popular contemporary pop/rock artists, such as Fall Out Boy, Justin Timberlake and Rascal Flatts, and of a cappella standards, such as "Blue Moon", "In The Still of the Night" and "Stand By Me".
Founded in the spring of 2006 by current director Nicholas Girard, Overboard was first conceived as a street performance group intent on entertaining audiences around coastal New England during the summer months. The group''s first album, Shipwrecked, was released during that first summer and was distributed during the group''s frequent busking stops in Newburyport, Massachusetts, Freeport, Maine and Burlington, Vermont, as well as around its hometown of Boston. On the heels of that successful season, the group decided to continue performing together on a more permanent basis.
In February 2007, Overboard began recording its second album, Stranded, which was released that May. To promote the album, the group performed at a variety of venues throughout New England. In June 2007, Overboard appeared at Eggstock, an annual environmental awareness festival held at Flamig Farm in Simsbury, Connecticut where they sang the Beatles classic "Here Comes the Sun" to commemorate the unveiling of the state''s first commercial Solar Photovoltaic System. In July, they sang for audiences at the Middlesex School Summer Arts Camp in Concord, Massachusetts and at Idol Camp, a performing arts summer camp organized by the producers of American Idol.
On December 14th, 2007, Overboard was selected as a top five finalist in the Boyz II Men/CBS Early Show A Cappella Quest competition. The group followed up their CBS success with a third place finish at the 2008 Boston Regional Harmony Sweepstakes A Cappella Festival.
After countless fan requests, Overboard decided it would be fun to record an album of their street performing standards, including "Good Ole A Cappella," "It''s Alright" and "Sister Golden Hair." The group''s third album, Castaways, was born Memorial Day Weekend 2008.
Starting in August, Overboard shifted its focus from summer to winter and began arranging songs for their fourth album, Tidings. Recorded Labor Day Weekend, Tidings is a holiday album with something for everyone, full of old favorites and new classics. The group will be promoting Tidings throughout the holiday season at malls, bookstores and schools, after which they''ll take a quick break before ramping things up for the 2009 season.
