🍒 21h00 - Van Tastik : 

“Fancy clothes, fancy rings. I ain’t no man with money. Been handed down, all of my things, ‘cause I ain’t got no money.”
Descended from noblemen, paupers, tradesmen and sailors - many of them shrouded in mystery; the Reverend VAN’s music tells the tale of this darkness and turmoil - the highs and lows of a bohemian life packed into his suitcase, his guitar and his voice. As an army of 1 VT embodies the many facets of his history in music: war refugees, poor migrants, violent, mysterious settlers. These result in a deep, deep melancholy and an unmistakable energy that drives him to press on through all this adversity.
But dark days aren’t just distant memories for The Rev. Born into a troubled nomadic family, he clung to his art through domestic violence, and homelessness. After years of experimenting in groups from Church Bands to Post-Hardcore The Rev learned multiple instruments and found solace in his own musical voice.
Choosing a suitcase for a bass drum and his trusty resophonic guitar VAN hit the road in 2017, and has been winning over fans since he started this bohemian touring life playing the streets, bars, clubs and living room shows all over the globe. VAN had had notable appearances at such events as the BBC Live On Air Fringe Stage, Sniester Festival 2019, 3Voor12 Utrecht, the Bulleit Bourbon Battle of the Bands, the Edinburgh Fringe, Kelburn Garden Party and Eden Festival.
From this gypsy lifestyle VAN TASTIK has become the archetypal “performing artist” - with an innate ability to instantly connect to the audience on a personal level. Wherever he plays, VAN welcomes all and makes you feel at home - acting as a conduit for all his listeners to connect through shared love of music. The Rev VT’s warmth gives you the feeling you’ve known him for years, making all his shows a deeply personal experience. There isn’t a single muscle in his body the one-man-band won’t use to make sure that NO ONE in the audience is left out.
For his newest venture the reverend brings you a series of singles leading up to his debut album “The Church Of VAN TASTIK” where he bares himself openly addressing mental health issues, financial struggle, the loss of a loved one and separation. The leading singles “Ain’t No Man With Money”, “HANGMAN” and “Drag Me To Hell” will be out on all platforms this quarantine.
VAN TASTIK is the culmination of years of ebb and flow between a life mundane and a life creative. VAN went from riches to rags and so many other life changing events which give him a world-weary, old soul outlook and approach. His music is something he views as a catharsis for all of the soul-shattering experiences he’s been through which he’s seeking to mend and share so that others may turn to his voice for guidance in the dark
