Meet VK: A duo, Steve and Marni Van Kessel, inspired by small town Canada, with a unique style and sound... one you deserve to discover...
The songs come from a personal past...
Steve is the singer, songwriter and guitarist with VK; Marni’s soaring voice complements the songs perfectly.
The pair also co-founded their label, 112 Records.
There are now three VK albums... with more on the way!
VK released their 2014 debut — a band project with The NARROWS — called Doin’ Just Fine, a perfect description of the music and the Van Kessel family dynamic. A notable mixture of old-school rock and roll and “Americana” with heart, passionate vocals, super-clean production, and superb musicianship. Think Blue Rodeo rather than Wilco; think the Hip rather than the Drive by Truckers.
Then came their sophomore record —Terms & Conditions. With more emphasis on thoughtful, hooky roots songs and the pair’s powerful vocals, the album seems more personal, and more “relatable” to the listener. There’s an intimacy, a warmth that brings the songs directly to your heart…The supporting musicians give resonance to the songs on the record, but the duo’s live performances bring the songs even more directly to listeners. Then came their third album 'Charm' (feat. Legends of THE DEEP), released at the 2019 Mariposa Folk Festival. If bluesy, old school rock & roll and Americana folk with heart is your pleasure, then ‘Charm’ is the answer.
Make music from the heart.
That’s what VK does.
