The Brown Daily Herald just published a great feature on Overhead.fm’s founding and progress.

“Where we are sitting right now in Blue State, they need public performance licenses,” he said.

“There are other providers that license music for stores, but we are the first ones to move it entirely online,” Hebson said, adding that this reduces costs and makes the process easier for customers.

“We’ve taken the idea that the Internet is the future of how we listen to music and implemented that in a new market,” Wells said.
