Two bits of great Van Hunt news!  Van Hunt will be releasing his first live album “Live At The Troubadour 2011″ on March 13, 2011 (in digital format only).  If you’ve never gotten the chance to see Van Hunt live, you are missing out in seeing one of the ONLY true musicians out there who challenges himself and his audience as he refuses to take the “easy road.”  When you go see Van Hunt live, you won’t hear a regurgitation of the album, but instead you’ll hear a completely different twist on very familiar songs.  His latest album “What Were You Hoping For?” is a breath of fresh air in a time where so many artists repeat what they think is the winning formula.  Van Hunt has always been known to mix rock and funk and on this album, you’ll hear genre-bending tracks that seamlessly meld soul and punk!
