Van first studied classical music and opera at Simpson College in Indianola, IA, then moved to the Twin Cities in Minnesota, where he has performed professionally for close to 40 years. He is recognized as a gifted vocal artist, whether bringing his unique gospel style to local churches, singing Bill Withers and James Taylor covers in local coffee shops and restaurants, or bringing fans to their feet as lead vocalist in reggae dance shows.
Reach out to Van or Kathy Nixon to make a plan for a show. We'll want to know what type of music and show you would like, if you want Van for a single act, in a duo with Kathy or with his trio or a larger band. Van is available to travel to any location in the US.
Van's versatile musical style is a great fit for any venue. As a single act, or a duo with Kathy, he brings a wide variety of genres to intimate settings like private parties and events and retirement communities. He can mix it up, too, with his trio, with Cheryl Kramer and David Burke, or with a larger band playing reggae or New Orleans style Cajun music.
