2025 was a year of great highs and equally great lows. Over the last 9 months we welcomed in an impressive line-up of musicians and talent to the Van’s stage. Last year was marked by unforgettable live music experiences, exceptional music, delicious food, outstanding cocktails and cold beer with new and old friends. Nevertheless, we’ve come to terms with the limitations and difficulties associated with this venture and have made the difficult decision to close Van’s Music Hall now as the new year begins.
It has been a tremendous honor & privilege to serve the Van’s family, bringing some of the best local & regional musical artists to those of you who love live music as we do. We’re proud of our crew and what we all did to preserve & promote live music. Without a doubt, our Van’s crew has been our backbone and driving force week after week, constantly supporting and encouraging us every step of the way.
We’d like to thank all the bands, agents, regulars, staff and fans who made this place come alive with song and energy, helping to make lasting memories along the way. This is not the outcome any of us hoped for, but we are so thankful for every moment of the experience and hope that all of you continue to support musicians and live music. We’d love to see yall any time at our other location, Velma's Trussville. God bless and let the music play on!
To our Van’s crew: Kris, Eddie, Mattie, Tami, Greg, Laura, Raven, Haley, Alexis, John Michael, Richard, Torrey, and any who have filled in or worked with us, thank you for everything! We love and appreciate all of you!
