THE VANZ - The story so far...

Since forming in 2005, The Vanz have earned themselves a well deserved reputation as one of Staffordshire’s finest party bands, and most outstanding covers band on the professional circuit today. Originally they started out as the UK’s only “West Coast/Americana Tribute Show”. The Vanz performed in many live music venues throughout the UK, performing songs by artists such as The Eagles, Steve Miller Band, John Hiatt, Sheryl Crow, The Doobie Brothers and many others.

The Vanz soon developed a totally new show which included a whole lot more than just Americana music. Older songs by Van Morrison, Cockney Rebel, The Faces, The Jam as well as songs by more contemporary artistes such as Foo Fighters, Green Day, Kaiser Chiefs, Snow Patrol, Pink, Duffy, The Zutons and others were added to an already successful show.

As well as a regular 4 piece line up consisting of 2 Vocal Guitarists, Bass Guitar and Drums, The Vanz can incorporate Electric Piano/Keyboards if requested.

The Vanz also perform as an Acoustic Duo, an Acoustic Trio with Keyboards, an Electric Duo with backing tracks and an Electric Trio with live drums and backing tracks. All line-ups feature Award winning vocalist Andrea Harvey and David Cotterill, guitarist from legendary rock band Demon.

The Vanz have now tailored a set that will be suitable for all events such as weddings, private parties, club rallies, festivals, music venues, holiday parks etc…. in fact you name it, they can make it happen...
