About
Acoustic undertones supporting honest, introspective vocals lay the base for indie rock that's organic, raw, yet unapologetically modern. Soaring cello melodies emerge from driving electric guitar lines, hard hitting rhythms give way to subtle percussion, gritty vocals balance edge with intrigue, and throughout it all Van Arlo weaves a musical mix that is worth hearing.
Van Arlo is the musical project of longtime friends and band mates Ben Marthey and Jesse Hernandez. After having met in college, the two have built a musical partnership that has lasted years. Both are longtime staples of the Northeast Ohio music scene, performing in and leading area bands including Rosella, Top Hat Black, and Vitium. |
