Van Vreeland is a soft rock/country band that formed right here in Brooklyn. The band is made up of Katie Vreeland on vocals, Spenser Naess on lead guitar,
Cooper Naess on drums, and Shane Preece on bass.
As you might have expected, the name “Van Vreeland” is derived from Vreeland’s last name. The band name comes from an old nickname that Vreeland had in high school.“My cross country and track coach, who was also an English teacher, would call me ‘Van Vreeland’ because it’s super Dutch,” said Vreeland. “I’ve also always been a fan of Van Zant, Van Morrison. I was kind of like, let me go with this.”
“There’s a fine balance that I personally as a musician and sort of the songwriter of the band, I’m trying to balance this line between that country pop songwriting with solid the hooks that something that you can sing along to or something that feels just like a good, good anthem,” said Vreeland. “So kind of striking this balance between these flavors that we are influenced by and what’s it’s turning into, i think it’s hard to place us amongst our peers.
Last summer, Van Vreeland released their new single “burgundy red,” now streaming on Spotify, and has their first full album in the works. Vreeland says that the response to burgundy red has been overwhelmingly positive from their fans and the public, despite being such a new band.
