Grammy Award winner Van Hunt has attracted critical praise touring both as headliner as well as alongside such diverse acts as Kanye West, The Roots, Coldplay, Mary J. Blige & Dave Matthews Band.

Van’s self-titled debut established him as a distinctive and original talent with its idiosyncratic melding of R&B, soul, funk, pop & rock ‘n’ roll. The single ‘Dust’ received a 2005 “Best Urban/Alternative Performance” Grammy nomination. ‘On The Jungle Floor’ followed two years later, highlighted by the single, ‘Character’. In 2007, Hunt received a Grammy Award for “Best R&B Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals” honoring Family Affair, a collaboration with John Legend & Joss Stone.

‘The Fun Rises, The Fun Sets’, followed in 2015. On August 11, 2017 Blue Note Records finally released “Popular”. Shelved since 2007 the album was pulled from the label’s release schedule at the dawn of a tumultuous decade for the music industry. Nevertheless, the album become an underground sensation, a classic lost album hailed by LA Weekly as “a left-field stunner” for its “trippy fusion of funk grooves, punk guitar and soul vocals.
